    Rogier van der Weyden, The Descent from the Cross, Northern Era, Oil Painting, Museo del Prado, Madrid

    This painting shows the emotional and religious aspect that was used during the time, the faces of Jesus and those around him we can tell are upset and it makes you feel sorry for Jesus which paintings also tried to do at this time. The painting is very colorful and has key details of Mary being in blue to represent her being divine, as well as signifying holy people are around Jesus.
