"Deposition" by Rogier Van Der Weyden

Rogier Van Der Weyden
"Deposition"
center panel of a triptych from Notre-Dame hors-les-murs
Louvain, Belgium 1435
Oil on wood


There is lots of emotion and movement in this painting. A crossbow, incorporated to acknowledge the patrons, is noted in the top corners and the theme continues with the shape of people's bodies (including Jesus).
