"Descent from the Cross" (1616-17) is a masterful oil painting by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, which exemplifies the Baroque style for which he is renowned. This work is part of a triptych, a three-panel piece, created for the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp, Belgium, where it still resides today. The central panel, measuring approximately 420 cm × 320 cm (165 in × 130 in), depicts the poignant biblical scene of Jesus Christ being lowered from the cross after his crucifixion, a moment that has been a significant subject in Christian art.

Rubens' rendition of the "Descent from the Cross" is celebrated for its dramatic composition, emotional intensity, and the dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The painting showcases Rubens' skill in conveying movement and his ability to capture the human form with a sense of weight and three-dimensionality. The figures are arranged in a diagonal composition, leading the viewer's eye across the canvas and emphasizing the gravity of the scene.

The work is notable for its rich color palette and the meticulous attention to detail, including the intricate folds of the garments and the expressive faces of the figures. Rubens' use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, enhances the sculptural quality of the figures and adds to the overall drama of the scene.

"Descent from the Cross" is considered one of Rubens' most significant religious works and a prime example of Counter-Reformation art, designed to inspire piety and devotion among the faithful. Its influence can be seen in the works of subsequent generations of artists, making it a pivotal piece in the history of Western art. The painting's enduring legacy is a testament to Rubens' mastery as a painter and his profound impact on the Baroque period.
