この絵画について

Charles Le Brun (1619-1690) was born in Paris and soon achieved a great success becoming the court painter of Louis XIV. He trained with François Perrier (1594-1649) and then collaborated with Simon Vouet (1590-1649) during the mid 1630s. He made a decisive trip for his artistic development to Italy with Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) in 1642 and returned to Paris only three years later. He then became quickly very successful and produced many history and religious paintings as well as designs for the royal palaces.

This painting is a fine example of Charles Le Brun’s Baroque style who dominated 17th-century French painting. It shows the Descent from the Cross of Christ’s body by Nicodemus and St John the Evangelist while a group of mourning women gathered around the feinted Virgin Mary. This austere composition is pervaded with dramatic intensity enhanced by touches of vivid colours against the dark background. This work, of which several versions are known, was particularly popular and inspired the next generation of artists.
