FRAMING INFORMATION

Descent from the Cross 1634

Like many artists of the Baroque period, Rembrandt recreated the scene of Christ descending from the cross more than once, among several other religious scenes. That being said, Descent from the Cross is one of the most historical and important representations of this moment. Rembrandt created a unique composition and one of the most famous paintings about the religious passage.

Its uniqueness relies not only on the beautiful technique, composition and lighting techniques used but also in how he chose to represent the elements. The scene is crowded with people, yet each of them has a memorable facial expression. People around have their mouths opened, they are holding onto each other, some are staring at Christ, and all of them are represented with great drama and emotion.

The lighting is elaborated. In general, the composition is set on Rembrandt’s chiaroscuro trademark where the whole environment is darkened towards the border of the piece, up to the point that the corners are nearly pitch black. Normally a figure stands out from the background, as a holy creature of light emerging from the dark. But as this painting portrays several people, the focus of lighting are carefully chosen. Of course, the concentration of light colors lay over the image of Jesus Christ, becoming the focal point of the vertical composition. The light shines from the bottom to the top, as suggest the shadows cast by Christ and the people.

The composition is very balanced, and the mass of people along with the cross and Jesus coming down from it form a triangular shape that gets lighter and brighter on the top. The holy shroud awaits for Christ laying on the ground and is also one of the parts of the painting that received special lighting treatment. On the right of the painting, in the middle of the crowd is the Virgin Mary, Jesus’ mother. She is also one of the spots of bright light and is portrayed fainted, being held by the people around her. She has her eyes shut and wears a white cloth around her head. Her face is skinny, and her body language and opened mouth show immense emotion and sadness. Some details of a city and some foliage are subtly drawn onto the corners of the painting, but the lack of light on the borders make them look fainted and subtle, contrasting with the central figures.

Finest quality stretching,
gallery wrap or framing

Purchasing without a frame
(unstreched canvas)

When purchasing a painting on its own, it will arrive rolled inside a secure tube with an extra 1.5" of white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it in any local frame shop.

Purchasing a frame

You may choose to purchase your painting framed, in which case, it will arrive "ready to hang". We offer more than 20 beautiful models, all hand finished and expertly assembled by our experienced framers.

Note that for safety reasons we can only frame up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached the framing option is automatically disabled.

Purchasing a Stretching Service

If you are planning to frame your painting yourself, use an existing frame, or frame it locally, you may choose to order your painting with a stretching service, meaning that it will arrive mounted on wooden bars.

Purchasing a Gallery Wrap

If you're considering not framing your painting at all, you may opt for a Gallery Wrap. The term Gallery Wrap refers to the way the canvas is stretched, which is by wrapping it around thick stretcher bars, about 1.5 inch thick, with the canvas being secured to the back rather than the sides of those bars.

Door to door fully insured courier delivery

All orders ship with UPS, FedEx or DHL and will arrive directly to your home or office. A tracking number will be emailed to you as soon as the order leaves our studio so you can track it online. All orders ship express and usually arrive within 4-5 days from the shipping date. Due to shipping restraints, many of our framed, stretched, and oversize paintings may take 6-21 days for arrival depending on the safest route determined by the postal service.
