"Small Passion, 26. The Descent from the Cross" is a woodcut created by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer, a pivotal figure of the Northern Renaissance. This work is part of Dürer's "Small Passion" series, a collection of 36 woodcuts that depict the life and Passion of Christ. The series was completed between 1508 and 1510 and is noted for its intricate detail and emotional intensity, reflecting Dürer's mastery in the medium of woodcut printmaking.

"The Descent from the Cross" specifically illustrates the moment when Christ's body is taken down from the cross following his crucifixion. This scene is a poignant and significant event in Christian iconography, symbolizing the sorrow and devotion of Christ's followers. In Dürer's depiction, the composition is meticulously arranged to convey the gravity and solemnity of the moment. The figures are rendered with remarkable precision, showcasing Dürer's skill in capturing human emotion and anatomy.

The woodcut features several key figures, including Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, who are traditionally associated with the removal of Christ's body from the cross. The Virgin Mary, often depicted in a state of mourning, is also present, adding to the emotional depth of the scene. Dürer's use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of Christ and emphasizing the pathos of the moment.

Dürer's "Small Passion" series, including "The Descent from the Cross," was highly influential and widely disseminated, contributing to the spread of Renaissance ideas and artistic techniques across Europe. The series exemplifies Dürer's ability to blend detailed realism with profound spiritual themes, making it a significant work in the history of art.
