Museo Nacional del PradoThe Descent from the Cross - The Collection
The painting represents an altarpiece of carved polychrome figures with the iconography of the deposition of Christ from the cross. The shape of the support with its projecting upper part and figures set inside a box with a gold background and sides, as well as the painted tracery in the corners, make it a depiction of a characteristic fifteenth-century sculpted altarpiece shrine.
