Golgotha · Scales, shroud and diagonals · Middle Ages to 19th century
The Descent from the Cross depicts the precise effort necessary to liberate and then lower the body of Christ.
The Descent from the Cross is the most vertical side of the Deposition. Men mounted on ladders remove nails, support arms and slide the body using a shroud. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus receive it Christ while the Virgin, Saint John and Mary Magdalene wait at the foot of the Cross. The composition must reconcile danger, weight and dignity. Fra Angelico orders the story with clarity, Rogier van der Weyden tightens the emotion as in a sculpted altarpiece, Rubens transforms the white sheet into a large luminous diagonal and Rembrandt brings out the collective effort of the night. The "Descent from the Cross" selection notably compares Descent from the Cross - Peter Paul Rubens and The Descent from the Cross - Fra Angelico. Its reading favors space.
In the Descent from the Cross, the white sheet often becomes a second architecture: it connects the top of the Cross to the hands waiting for the body.
