"Descent from the Cross" is a notable work by the Italian Baroque painter Luca Giordano, created during the 17th century. This painting is a representation of the biblical scene of the Deposition of Christ, a moment of profound sorrow and reflection as Jesus Christ is taken down from the cross following his crucifixion. Giordano, known for his prolific output and dynamic compositions, employs his characteristic vigorous brushwork and rich color palette to convey the emotional intensity of the scene.

The artwork captures the figures in a state of mourning and delicately balanced movement, as they gently lower Christ's lifeless body. The composition typically shows Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, along with other followers of Christ, including the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene, participating in the somber event. Giordano's mastery in depicting the human form and his use of light to enhance the drama are evident in this piece.

"Descent from the Cross" is reflective of Giordano's ability to synthesize the influences of his predecessors, such as Caravaggio's chiaroscuro and the dynamism of Peter Paul Rubens, while adding his own expressive flair. The painting is an example of the emotional and theatrical style that characterizes the Baroque period, aiming to engage the viewer and elicit a visceral response to the depicted narrative.

As with many of Giordano's works, "Descent from the Cross" showcases the artist's adaptability and innovation within the Baroque tradition. It remains an important work for the study of 17th-century Italian art and contributes to the understanding of the period's religious iconography and artistic developments. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its capacity to capture a pivotal moment in Christian iconography with both technical prowess and emotional depth.
