The Descent from the Cross, or Deposition
of Christ, is the scene,
as depicted in art, from the Gospels' accounts of Joseph of Arimathea and
Nicodemus taking Christ down from the cross after his crucifixion. In Byzantine
art the topic became popular in the 9th century, and in the West from the 10th
century. The Descent from the Cross is the 13th Station of the Cross.
Other figures not mentioned in the Gospels who
are often included in depictions of this subject include St. John the
Evangelist, who is sometimes depicted supporting a fainting Mary, and Mary
Magdalene. The Gospels mention an undefined number of women as watching the
crucifixion, including the Three Marys and Mary Salome. More

Jean Lambert-Rucki (1888–1967), a Polish avant-garde artist, sculptor, and graphic artist, was best known for his participation in the Cubist, Surrealist and Art Deco movements. He exhibited at the 1913 Salon d'Automne in Paris. From 1919 he was represented by both Léonce Rosenberg at the Galerie de l'Effort Moderne and the art dealer Paul Guillaume. In March 1920, Lambert-Rucki exhibited at the second exhibition of la Section d'Or, Galerie de La Boétie, Paris, and participated in the first exhibition of l'Union des Artistes Modernes, where he would continue to show his works. Working in diverse styles and media, at times influenced by the tribal art of Africa, Lambert-Rucki became well known for his Cubist cityscapes. More on Jean Lambert-Rucki
