Pedro de Campaña's "The Descent from the Cross" is a notable painting created in 1547, during the Renaissance period. Campaña, a Flemish artist whose real name was Pieter de Kempeneer, was active mainly in Seville, Spain. This work is one of his most acclaimed pieces and is housed in the Cathedral of Seville.

The painting depicts the biblical scene of Christ being taken down from the cross after his crucifixion. This moment is a poignant and dramatic subject, capturing the sorrow and solemnity of the event. Campaña's composition is characterized by its dynamic arrangement and emotional intensity, typical of the Mannerist style, which often emphasized tension and movement.

In "The Descent from the Cross," Campaña employs a rich color palette and intricate detailing to convey the gravity of the scene. The figures are arranged in a complex, interwoven manner, creating a sense of depth and movement. The central figure of Christ is surrounded by mourners, including the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Nicodemus, each expressing profound grief and reverence.

One of the painting's notable features is its use of light and shadow, which enhances the dramatic effect and highlights the physical and emotional weight of the scene. The artist's skillful use of chiaroscuro adds to the three-dimensionality and realism of the figures.

Campaña's work reflects both his Flemish roots and the influence of the Spanish artistic environment, combining Northern European attention to detail with the emotional expressiveness found in Spanish art of the period. "The Descent from the Cross" remains an important example of Renaissance art in Spain and continues to be admired for its technical mastery and emotional depth.

This painting not only exemplifies Campaña's artistic abilities but also serves as a significant cultural artifact, illustrating the religious and artistic values of 16th-century Spain.
