Descent from the cross
Rogier van der weydenpainter
It is the central panel of a triptych, whose lateral wings have disappeared. It is an oil painting on wood; the support is made up of eleven Baltic oak boards assembled vertically. The work is rectangular in shape, with a projection in the center of the upper part, on which is the cross and a young man perched on the ladder, who has helped to lower the corpse.
The theme is religious, typical of Gothic painting: Christ descended from the cross. The Gospels speak of it: Joseph of Arimathea asked Pontius Pilate to let him take the body of Jesus Christ for burial. Although the New Testament does not describe it in detail, painting, and art in general, has depicted it again and again.
Rogier van der Weyden fits the figures in a landscape space, in the form of an urn. The background is smooth, gold-colored, resembling a board; thus, the figures look like polychrome sculptures. Traditionally, sculptural altarpieces were more expensive and sought after than painted ones; it can be said that the artist recreated pictorially a group of figures that would have been much more expensive in three-dimensional sculpture. The gold background also has a symbolic meaning, as it was already given in Egypt: it symbolizes eternity and is characteristic of the divine.
