- Physical Description
- This print depicts the body of a man being lowered from a cross. Two men lean over the top of the cross to remove the nails from the dead man's hands and pass his body down to two other men standing on ladders. Three women and a man lay on the ground in mourning at the foot of the cross.
- Subject Matter
- This print represents the removal of Jesus' body after his crucifixion. Four men, including Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, work to lower his body from the cross. The group of mourners at the foot of the cross includes the Virgin Mary, who slumps forward in a swoon, and John the Evangelist, who supports her from behind. The balanced composition and the dignified emotional restraint of the figures in the print reveal the influence of Raphael.
