The Passion: Descent from the Cross is a 1521 by Lucas van Leyden, a Renaissance work, depicting Lamentation of Christ, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows a scene of Jesus being taken down from the cross. This scene is interesting because it's a common theme in Christian art, but the details are unique. The way the figures are arranged and the emotions on their faces tell a story. Check out the work of artist: Lucas van Leyden (Dutch, 1494–1533) for more like this.
