Note du spécialiste

About one hundred years after Baldung created this print, its daring composition with the extreme foreshortening of the figure of the dead Christ and the pathos-filled gestures of the Virgin, the Magdalen and Saint John inspired Hercules Seghers (circa 1589/90 - 1638) to create a colour etching of this dramatic scene in reverse.
