"Korsnedtagningen" (The Descent from the Cross) is a significant 1789 painting by the Swedish artist Jonas Åkerström (1759–1795). This work is one of Åkerström's most notable contributions to religious art and reflects the neoclassical style that was prevalent in Europe during the late 18th century. The painting depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ being taken down from the cross after his crucifixion, a moment that has been a poignant subject for artists throughout the history of Christian art.

Åkerström, who was trained at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts and influenced by his studies in Paris, brings a combination of dramatic expression and classical restraint to this work. His treatment of the human form and drapery shows the influence of French neoclassicism and his attention to emotional detail aligns with the emerging sentimentality of the Romantic period. "Korsnedtagningen" is noted for its composition, use of light and shadow, and the emotional resonance conveyed through the figures' poses and expressions.

The painting is an important example of Swedish 18th-century art and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic exchange between Sweden and the broader European art scene of the time. It is also a testament to Åkerström's brief but impactful career, as he died at the young age of 36. "Korsnedtagningen" remains an essential work for studying the development of religious and neoclassical painting in Sweden at the close of the 18th century.
