Getting started with the collection:
The Descent from the Cross, Second Plate
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1633
With the aid of a cloth, a group of men carefully lower Christ’s lifeless body from the Cross. One of them is Rembrandt: the man on the ladder has his face. At the foot of the Cross lies the shroud in which Christ’s body will be wrapped. This huge print reproduces a painting that Rembrandt had made shortly before for Prince Frederick Henry.
