Oil on canvas, “The Descent from the Cross” (La Descente de la Croix), executed in the style of Peter Paul Rubens. Few compositions capture the emotional intensity and dramatic power of the Baroque period as compellingly as The Descent from the Cross. Celebrated for its monumentality, this iconic scene also marks the beginning of Rubens’ Classicist phase (circa 1612–1620), where harmony and structure meet expressive movement.
