"Descent from the Cross: Second Plate" is an etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1633. It is one of Rembrandt's most celebrated religious scenes, depicting the solemn biblical moment when the body of Jesus Christ is taken down from the cross following his crucifixion. This work is the second of Rembrandt's five treatments of the subject, each varying in composition and detail, showcasing his evolving artistic style and his deepening engagement with the emotional and spiritual dimensions of the scene.

The etching measures approximately 52.5 x 41 cm and is known for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique that Rembrandt mastered and is often associated with. The scene is rendered with a remarkable attention to human emotion and physical detail, capturing the grief and devotion of the figures gathered around Christ's body. The composition is dynamic, with the use of diagonal lines and a strong contrast between the illuminated figures and the dark background, creating a sense of depth and movement.

Rembrandt's "Descent from the Cross: Second Plate" is not only a testament to his skill as an etcher but also reflects his profound understanding of the narrative he depicts. The work is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered one of the finest examples of Rembrandt's printmaking. It is housed in several major museum collections and has been the subject of extensive scholarly research, contributing significantly to the understanding of Rembrandt's oeuvre and the development of Baroque art in the Netherlands.
