"Descent from the Cross" is the central panel of a triptych painting by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, which was completed in 1614. The work is also known as the "Triptych of the Erection of the Cross," and it is housed in the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp, Belgium. This masterpiece is considered one of Rubens' most significant religious compositions and a prime example of the Baroque style, which is characterized by dramatic intensity, rich color, and dynamic movement.

The painting depicts the biblical scene of the removal of Jesus' body from the cross after his crucifixion, a moment that has been a poignant subject in Christian art. Rubens' rendition is particularly noted for its emotional power and the physicality of the figures. The composition shows several figures, including Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, as well as the Virgin Mary and John the Evangelist, who are straining to lower Jesus' body with a sense of gravity and corporeal effort that is typical of Rubens' work.

Rubens employs a diagonal composition that adds to the dynamism of the scene, with the use of chiaroscuro to enhance the three-dimensional effect and to spotlight the drama. The artist's mastery of the human form and drapery is evident in the realistic depiction of the figures and their clothing. The work's impact is further amplified by the emotional expressions of the characters, which convey a profound sense of grief and devotion.

"Descent from the Cross" is not only a devotional piece but also a showcase of Rubens' skill in handling complex compositions and his ability to evoke emotion through painting. It remains a significant work for the study of Baroque art and Rubens' oeuvre, reflecting both the artist's personal style and the broader cultural and religious context of the time.
