Their figures are arranged in a visually powerful pyramid and the dramatic tight arrangement of their clothes and limbs in the lower right endow them with a visceral sorrow, held in high contrast with the upper left corner which shows a far-away sparse place of the Crucifixion. Strauss describes the composition thus: “The scene of the Crucifixion has been moved to the far background, so that the eye may concentrate on the interlude after the Descent from the Cross and before the Entombment of Christ. This subject became especially popular in Germany in the sixteenth century… Although the more prominent figure on the top has usually been seen as the virgin, she is more likely to be the woman tenderly lifting Christ’s hand and bending over him.” (Strauss, p. 215) / Medium: Woodcut /Circa: 1497-1499 1600
