About this work

This triptych by Ambrosius Benson, dated 1530, shows the body of Christ being lowered from the cross by figures in red and dark robes while mourners gather below and angels gather in the clouds above. The side panels depict an armored archangel with a spear on the left and a robed monk holding a book and a small figure on the right, both set against winding landscapes.
