# Paso with Descent from the Cross [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [FERNÁNDEZ, Gregorio]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Polychrome wood, over-life-size ## Commentary One of the most extraordinary examples of processional art is Fernandez's monumental Descent from the Cross, an exceptional example of the expressive skills of the artist. The remarkable portrayal of two men standing on the ladder holding the corps which appears to float freely in the air represents a sophisticated solution to the complex problem of balance, and of situating the figures in space. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Altarpiece]() - [Archangel Gabriel]() - [Christ at the Column \(detail\)]() - [Christ at the Column]() - [Ecce Homo]() - [Flagellation of Christ]() - [Pietá]() - [St Dominic]() - [St Martin]() - [The Dead Christ]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
