Antique 19th-century steel engraving by Gustave Doré depicting the Descent from the Cross.
This powerful biblical scene shows Christ being lowered from the cross, surrounded by mourners in one of Doré’s most emotionally striking compositions. The detail in the drapery, figures, and shadow work is exceptional—hallmarks of Doré’s mastery as one of the most important illustrators of the 19th century.
Originally published in Doré’s illustrated Bible (circa 1860s–1880s), this is an authentic period engraving, not a modern reproduction.
The print presents beautifully and would make a striking display piece, especially for collectors of religious art or Doré’s work.
