"The Descent From The Cross: The Second Plate" (b., Holl.81ii; H.103; Bb.33-c) is an etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1633. This work is part of a series of prints that Rembrandt produced, depicting various scenes from the life of Christ. The etching captures the poignant moment when Jesus Christ is being taken down from the cross after his crucifixion, a subject that has been a significant theme in Christian art for centuries.

Rembrandt's interpretation of this biblical event is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which he mastered and employed to great effect throughout his career. The composition of the etching is meticulously detailed, showcasing Rembrandt's exceptional skill in rendering human emotion and physicality. The figures in the scene are arranged in a dynamic yet harmonious manner, with the central focus on the lifeless body of Christ being carefully lowered by his followers.

The etching is characterized by its intricate line work and the depth of expression captured in the faces and gestures of the figures. Rembrandt's ability to convey the sorrow and reverence of the moment is evident, making this work a powerful and moving depiction of the Descent from the Cross. The Second Plate is distinguished from the First Plate by several compositional changes and refinements, reflecting Rembrandt's continuous experimentation and pursuit of perfection in his art.

This work is part of Rembrandt's broader oeuvre of religious prints, which were highly influential and sought after during his lifetime and continue to be studied and admired by art historians and enthusiasts today. "The Descent From The Cross: The Second Plate" exemplifies Rembrandt's profound ability to blend technical mastery with deep emotional resonance, solidifying his reputation as one of the greatest artists of the Baroque period.
