"Descent from the Cross (outside right)" is a component of a larger triptych artwork created by the Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens between 1612 and 1614. This particular piece serves as the right-hand exterior panel of the triptych when closed, complementing the central and left panels which together depict the dramatic biblical scene of the Descent from the Cross, a moment of profound pathos and religious significance. Rubens, known for his dynamic compositions, rich color palette, and emotionally charged figures, brings his characteristic vigor and detail to this work.

The triptych was commissioned by the Confraternity of the Arquebusiers for the Saint Walpurgis Church in Antwerp, which is now known as the Cathedral of Our Lady. The exterior panels, which are visible when the triptych is closed, are typically more subdued and serve as a prelude to the grandeur within. In the case of "Descent from the Cross (outside right)," Rubens would have crafted a scene that complements the overall narrative of the triptych while adhering to the conventions of exterior panel artwork of the period.

While the central panel of the triptych is one of Rubens' most celebrated masterpieces, showcasing his skill in conveying the weight of Christ's body and the emotional intensity of the mourners, the outside right panel plays a crucial role in the devotional and aesthetic experience of the work as a whole. It is a testament to Rubens' ability to work within the constraints of religious commissions while still infusing his work with innovation and a deep understanding of human emotion.

The "Descent from the Cross" triptych is considered one of the finest examples of Rubens' art and a masterpiece of Baroque painting. It remains a significant piece for art historians and enthusiasts, reflecting the religious fervor and artistic richness of the Counter-Reformation period in Europe. The outside right panel, though less studied than the central depiction, is an integral part of this iconic work, contributing to its narrative and devotional impact.
