"Descent from the Cross [detail: Meeting of Mary and Elisabeth]" is a notable work by the Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, created as part of a larger altarpiece for the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp. This masterpiece, completed between 1612 and 1614, is one of Rubens' most revered compositions and a prime example of the dynamic and emotionally charged style that characterizes his oeuvre.

The altarpiece, also known as "The Elevation of the Cross," is a triptych, with the central panel depicting the dramatic moment of Christ being lowered from the cross after his crucifixion, a scene that has been a poignant subject in Christian art. The detail in question, "Meeting of Mary and Elisabeth," is believed to be part of the side panels of the triptych, which contain scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary. However, it is important to note that this specific detail does not appear in the main descriptions of the triptych and may refer to a separate work or a misidentified component of Rubens' extensive religious art.

Rubens' treatment of the subject matter is renowned for its theatricality and movement, with figures that seem to emerge into the viewer's space. His use of chiaroscuro and rich color palette enhances the emotional intensity of the scene. The interaction between Mary and Elisabeth, both significant figures in the New Testament, is imagined with a sense of intimacy and shared sorrow that reflects the human experience of grief and compassion.

As a leading figure of the Flemish Baroque movement, Rubens' influence extended beyond his own time, shaping the development of European art. "Descent from the Cross [detail: Meeting of Mary and Elisabeth]" exemplifies his skill in creating narrative drama and his ability to convey profound religious themes through powerful visual language. The work remains an important piece for the study of Rubens' artistic legacy and the Baroque period's religious iconography.
