The Descent from the Cross (Rubens, 1618)
text:
The Descent from the Cross is a c.1618 oil on canvas painting by Peter Paul Rubens and his studio. The broad free brushstrokes of the old man's body and robes point to Rubens' pupil Anthony van Dyck. It is now in the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. The work was commissioned for the high altar of the Capuchin church in Lier near Antwerp and based on his successful earlier work on the subject for Antwerp Cathedral. Two preparatory drawings for it survive, one each in the EV Thaw collection in N
