Rogier van der Weydens
Descent from the Cross
Rogier van Weydens Descent from the Cross is an emotional scene painted with oil on wood. ... Christ has already been taken down off the cross and is being held by two men. ... If the painting was a perfect rectangle then there would be open space on either side of the man descending from the ladder, which would cause the whole picture to be less intense and reduce the amount of emotion it causes. ...
Christ’s body is accentuated by the blood coming from the wound on his side, the blood trickles down over his body in a curved line. His body makes a vertical line with a horizontal line across the whole picture from his head tilted to the right. The line then leads to his vertical line from his right arm being straight. ... These lines are then crossed by a diagonal from Nicodemus’s eyes which leads directly to the focal point of the picture which is the hands of Christ and Mary.
