"Deposition (detail) 2" by Rogier van der Weyden is a fragment of the larger altarpiece known as "The Descent from the Cross," which is one of the most celebrated works of the Early Netherlandish painter. Created around 1435-1443, this masterpiece is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. The altarpiece was commissioned by the Greater Guild of Crossbowmen of Leuven, and it originally adorned the chapel of Our Lady Without the Walls in Leuven.

Rogier van der Weyden's "Deposition" is renowned for its emotional intensity and meticulous attention to detail. The composition captures the moment when Christ's body is being lowered from the cross, surrounded by figures who exhibit a profound range of grief and sorrow. The central figure of Christ is flanked by the Virgin Mary, who has fainted in anguish, and St. John the Evangelist, who supports her. The scene is further populated by other mourners, including Mary Magdalene and Nicodemus, each rendered with exquisite detail and expressive realism.

The fragment known as "Deposition (detail) 2" focuses on a specific portion of this larger narrative, highlighting the intricate craftsmanship and emotional depth that van der Weyden infused into the entire altarpiece. The artist's use of oil paint allowed for a rich, luminous quality and enabled him to achieve a high degree of detail and texture, particularly in the depiction of fabrics, skin tones, and the play of light and shadow.

Van der Weyden's work is characterized by its dynamic composition and the use of a shallow, stage-like space that brings the figures to the forefront, creating an intimate and immediate connection with the viewer. The emotional expressions and physical gestures of the figures are meticulously crafted to convey the profound sorrow and reverence of the scene.

"Deposition (detail) 2" serves as a testament to Rogier van der Weyden's mastery of form, composition, and emotional expression, solidifying his reputation as one of the foremost painters of the Northern Renaissance. The fragment, like the entire altarpiece, continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
