"Descent from the Cross [detail 4]" is a fragment of the larger altarpiece "The Descent from the Cross," a seminal work by the Early Netherlandish painter Rogier van der Weyden. Created circa 1435, the original altarpiece is renowned for its emotional intensity, intricate detail, and masterful composition, which exemplify van der Weyden's skill and innovation during the Northern Renaissance. The painting was commissioned by the Greater Guild of Crossbowmen of Leuven for their chapel in the Church of Our Lady Without the Walls.

The "Descent from the Cross" depicts the moment when Christ's body is being lowered from the cross after his crucifixion, surrounded by mourners including the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and John the Evangelist. Van der Weyden's treatment of the subject is notable for its dramatic use of space and the deeply human expressions of grief and sorrow on the faces of the figures.

"Detail 4" specifically focuses on a segment of this larger composition, capturing the nuanced emotions and intricate details that characterize van der Weyden's work. While the exact portion of the altarpiece represented by "Detail 4" is not universally agreed upon, it typically refers to a close-up view that highlights the artist's meticulous attention to the textures of fabric, the play of light and shadow, and the poignant expressions of the figures.

Rogier van der Weyden's "Descent from the Cross" has had a profound influence on the art world, inspiring countless artists and remaining a subject of extensive scholarly study. The altarpiece, including its detailed segments like "Detail 4," is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be a focal point for visitors and art historians alike. The painting's enduring legacy is a testament to van der Weyden's mastery and the emotional power of his work.
