The engraving serves as an important example of Northern Renaissance influence on Italian artists, particularly in the adoption of engraving techniques and the exploration of complex theological themes through art. "Descent into Limbo" not only reflects the religious and cultural milieu of the time but also demonstrates Giovanni Antonio da Brescia's contribution to the development of printmaking as a form of artistic expression during the Renaissance.
