''Descent from the Cross'' (outside left) is a significant work by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, created between 1612 and 1614. This painting is part of a larger altarpiece, the ''Triptych of the Descent from the Cross'', which is considered one of Rubens' masterpieces and a prime example of Baroque art's dynamism and emotional intensity. The triptych is housed in the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp, Belgium.

The outside left panel of the triptych, when closed, presents an image that complements the central theme of Christ's descent from the cross. This work, like the other components of the triptych, showcases Rubens' skillful use of color, dramatic lighting, and powerful figures in motion, which are characteristic of his style and contribute to the narrative intensity of the scene.

Rubens' ''Descent from the Cross'' is notable for its innovative composition and its emotional impact. The artist's ability to convey the weight of Christ's body and the strain of the figures lowering him from the cross is particularly admired. The outside left panel, when viewed in conjunction with the entire triptych, adds to the unfolding story of Christ's Passion, which Rubens depicted with a combination of theatricality and piety.

The ''Descent from the Cross'' (outside left) is not only a testament to Rubens' technical prowess but also reflects the religious and cultural milieu of the Counter-Reformation, during which the Catholic Church emphasized the dramatic visualization of Christian narratives. Rubens' work played a significant role in this movement, using visual arts to inspire devotion and convey religious messages powerfully.

As a key work in Rubens' oeuvre and a masterpiece of early 17th-century Flemish art, the ''Descent from the Cross'' (outside left) continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance, attracting scholars and art enthusiasts alike to the cathedral in Antwerp where it has been inspiring viewers for over four centuries.
