In the image, Jesus' lifeless body has been taken down from the cross and is lovingly cradled by a pair of angels. The contrast in emotion shown by each angel is intended to demonstrate different modes of prayerful meditation on the Passion of Christ: one angel looks upon the Lord with tenderness and appreciation for His sacrifice while the other appears distraught at the horror and injustice of Jesus' death, averting his eyes towards heaven.
