EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from "The Descent from the Cross" altarpiece, housed in the Sts. Gommarus and Pancratius church in Enkhuizen. Painted by Pieter Fransz. de Grebber in 1633, this masterpiece depicts the solemn scene of Christ's body being taken down from the cross. In this particular frame, we see Mary on the left side of the composition, her grief-stricken face reflecting unimaginable sorrow as she witnesses her son's lifeless form being lowered towards her. On the right stands John, his expression filled with both sadness and reverence for his beloved teacher. At the foot of the cross lies Mary Magdalene, depicted here in a state of profound anguish amidst muddy surroundings. Her presence adds an element of raw emotion to this already deeply moving tableau. The artist skillfully portrays Nicodemus and Joseph or Arimathaea standing on ladders, carefully detaching Christ's arms from their crucified position. Their delicate handling symbolizes not only their respect for Jesus but also their role as caretakers during this sacred act. Measuring approximately 232 cm in height by 193 cm in width and painted with oil on canvas, this powerful artwork invites viewers to contemplate themes of sacrifice, redemption, and maternal love. As you gaze upon this remarkable print from Liszt Collection, allow yourself to be transported into a world where faith intertwines with human suffering and divine grace shines through
