The rich colors and intricate brushwork showcase the skill of the Novgorod School artist who created this masterpiece. The figures are depicted with a sense of realism that brings to life the solemnity of this pivotal moment in Christian theology.
The setting of Golgotha Hill in Jerusalem adds to the authenticity of the scene, as viewers are transported back in time to witness this sacred event. The fine details such as Christ's body being carefully lowered down from the cross and Mary Magdalene's expression of grief make this painting truly captivating.
