"Descent from the Cross" is a significant Baroque painting by the Italian artist Luca Giordano, created in the late 17th century. This artwork depicts 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 dynamic compositions and vibrant use of color, brings this poignant scene to life with dramatic lighting and emotional intensity.

The painting showcases Giordano's mastery of the Baroque style, characterized by its emphasis on movement, rich detail, and strong contrasts of light and shadow. The figures in "Descent from the Cross" are rendered with a sense of weight and corporeality, highlighting the physical strain and emotional toll of Christ's followers as they lower his body. The artist's use of diagonals and the positioning of the figures create a sense of depth and guide the viewer's eye through the narrative.

Luca Giordano, often referred to as "Fa Presto" (Italian for "work quickly") due to his remarkably swift painting technique, was a prolific artist of the Neapolitan school. His work was influential in spreading the Baroque style across Italy and beyond. "Descent from the Cross" is considered one of his important religious works, exemplifying his ability to convey complex theological themes through powerful visual storytelling.

The painting is notable not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance as a representation of 17th-century religious art. It reflects the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on engaging the faithful through emotive and accessible imagery. Today, "Descent from the Cross" is appreciated for its artistry and as a testament to Giordano's impact on the development of Baroque painting.
