"The Descent from the Cross: The Second Plate" is a renowned etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1633. This work is one of a series of etchings, paintings, and drawings that Rembrandt produced on the theme of Christ's descent from the cross, a subject that has been widely depicted in Christian art. The etching is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which Rembrandt employed to enhance the emotional intensity of the scene.

The etching depicts the moment after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, as his lifeless body is being lowered from the cross by several figures. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, along with other followers of Christ, are shown carefully handling the body, which adds a human and compassionate element to the scene. Rembrandt's mastery in rendering the textures of the materials and the expressions of the figures contributes to the overall pathos of the composition.

Measuring approximately 52.5 x 40.6 cm, "The Descent from the Cross: The Second Plate" is characterized by its large scale for an etching, which allows for a high level of detail and a strong visual impact. The work is part of a series of Passion prints that Rembrandt created, which were highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs during his lifetime and continue to be studied and admired for their artistic and historical significance.

The etching is held in various collections around the world, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the British Museum in London. It is often studied in the context of Rembrandt's exploration of religious themes and his innovative printmaking techniques, which have had a lasting influence on the history of art. "The Descent from the Cross: The Second Plate" remains a testament to Rembrandt's ability to convey complex narratives and profound emotions through the medium of etching.
