About the piece
Painted around 1635 by the Flemish master Anthony van Dyck, this poignant work captures the immediate aftermath of the Crucifixion with intense emotion. The composition features the Virgin Mary in deep sorrow, supported by John the Evangelist and grieving angels, while the body of Christ is rendered with the luminous, tragic beauty characteristic of Van Dyck's mature style.
