Passie en wederopstanding van Christus

Christ's body is carefully lowered using a long linen shroud while Mary Magdalene kneels at the base of the cross to kiss his feet. To the right, the Virgin Mary is supported by a group of followers in a state of grief, set against a background featuring a rocky landscape and the city of Jerusalem. The engraving uses fine cross-hatching to create a sense of physical weight and dramatic tension in the figures' poses.

As part of the output of the Sadeler family, this work represents the sophisticated printmaking culture that later became central to the court of Rudolf II in Prague, a major center for Renaissance Hermeticism. The Sadelers were key figures in the dissemination of high-mannerist religious imagery that often served as a foundation for more complex emblematic and esoteric works in the early 17th century.
