... 1. Rogier van der Weyden - "The Descent from the Cross" also "Deposition" c. 1435 Oil on oak panel, 220 x 262 cm http://www.kfki.hu/~arthp/art/w/weyden/rogier/01deposi/1deposit.jpg Rogier van der Weyden's "The Descent from the Cross" was an altarpiece as well, intended for the chapel of the Confraternity of the Archers of Leuven, who commissioned it. In this painting there are ten figures in all that cover almost the entire surface of the panel. Christ's lifeless body has been removed from the cross by the bearded Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus. On the left Mary has fainted beside her son, and is supported by Christ's favorite disciple, St. John the Evangelist and another woman. On the extreme right, St. Mary Magdalene is on the verge of fainting while resting on the shoulder of an elderly man in the rear. The other figures in the painting look on sorrowfully at their Savior, holding His body
