"The Descent from the Cross; The Ascension" is a notable work by Nicolas Dorigny, a French engraver and painter born in 1658. This piece is part of a series of engravings that Dorigny created based on the paintings by the renowned artist Peter Paul Rubens. The original paintings by Rubens, which depict various scenes from the life of Christ, were commissioned for the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp and are considered masterpieces of Baroque art.

Nicolas Dorigny, who was also known for his work in Italy and his engravings after the Raphael Cartoons at the Vatican, undertook the ambitious project of translating Rubens' dynamic and emotive compositions into the medium of engraving. "The Descent from the Cross; The Ascension" reflects Dorigny's skill in capturing the drama and movement characteristic of Rubens' style, while also showcasing his own meticulous technique and attention to detail.

The engraving itself is a rich visual narrative that combines two significant events in Christian theology: the Descent from the Cross, which depicts the removal of Christ's body after his crucifixion, and the Ascension, which illustrates Christ's rise to heaven in the presence of his disciples. Dorigny's work not only serves as a homage to Rubens but also stands on its own as a significant contribution to the Baroque period's graphic arts.

Dorigny's engravings were highly regarded in his time for their fidelity to the original paintings and for the way they made such masterworks accessible to a broader audience. "The Descent from the Cross; The Ascension" exemplifies the cross-pollination of artistic ideas across Europe and the enduring influence of Rubens' visual language. Today, Dorigny's engravings are valuable both as historical documents of artistic exchange and as artworks in their own right, offering insight into the practices of reproduction and dissemination of art during the 17th and 18th centuries.
