The Descent from the Cross, or Deposition, is the last act in the human drama of Christ's mission on earth, in which Joseph of Arimathea obtains Pontius Pilate's permission to take Christ's body down from the Cross & bury it. The pathos of this particular scene has captured the imagination of artists from every age, & this book presents a chronological sequence of over 100 versions of the event selected from masterpieces of all periods by the greatest artists. Like its companion volumes, Descent presents an extended meditation on a single theme that has many facets: the universal human tragedy of loss, grief & the shattering of all hope on the one hand; & the promise, as yet unknown to the participants, of renewed hope & eternal life on the other. This complex web of emotions has inspired a rich heritage of interpretation, & the images presented here form a deeply moving & ever-evolving study of grief & resignation; of human & divine drama; of individual physiognomy & character; & of ultimate hope & salvation. The concentration on a single theme opens up an intense & heightened awareness of the intricacy of human emotion & the magnitude of the artist's expressive resources. Each respective image reveals a new insight, as the profoundest mysteries of religion, human experience & artistic creation are explored here in a concentrated form. Like its companion volumes Annunciation, Crucifixion & Last Supper, Descent presents a focused meditation on a single theme that is infinitely rich, allowing the viewer to appreciate the nuances of character & the endless skill with which artists have created new masterpieces out of old materials. Whether one focuses on the religious mystery, the human drama or the marvellous skill of the artist, these uncluttered & simply presented works of art provide endless food for thought & contemplation. ...
