"Descent from the Cross" (also referred to as "The Deposition of Christ," or "Takendown From The Cross") is a masterpiece by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, completed in 1614. This monumental triptych painting is considered one of Rubens' most significant and influential works, showcasing his dynamic style and mastery of the Baroque movement. It is currently housed in the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp, Belgium, for which it was originally created.

The central panel of the triptych depicts the poignant moment of Christ's body being lowered from the cross after his crucifixion, a scene rich with emotional intensity and physical strain. Rubens' composition is renowned for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and powerful depiction of human emotion and movement. The figures are rendered with a remarkable sense of weight and three-dimensionality, a testament to Rubens' skill in portraying the human form.

The side panels complement the central scene, with the left panel showing the Visitation, where Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth, and the right panel depicting the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple. These biblical events are depicted with the same vigorous energy and attention to detail that characterizes Rubens' work.

"Descent from the Cross" is a prime example of Counter-Reformation art, intended to inspire devotion and convey the messages of the Catholic Church during a time of religious turmoil in Europe. The work's emotional resonance and visual impact have made it an enduring symbol of Baroque art and have cemented Rubens' reputation as one of the most important painters of his era.
