The Descent from the Cross (also called Deposition of Christ or Descent of Christ from the Cross) is a painting by the Flemish painter Rogier van der Weyden. It was created somewhere around 1435.

This painting is a panel painting - a type of painting created on a flat panel made of wood. The technique van der Weyden used here is oil on an oak panel.

The painting shows Christ's lifeless body getting taken down from the cross and held by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. What van der Weyden wanted to accomplish by this piece is to gain an international reputation, in which he succeeded as it became the most influential Netherlandish painting of Christ's crucifixion.
