Robert
van Audenaerde (aka Robert
van Audenard; Robert van Oudenaerde; Robert van Auden Aerd) (1663–1743)
“The
Descent from the Cross” (aka “The Deposition”; “Deposizione dalla Croce”; “Descente
de Croix”), 1743, after Daniele da Volterra’s (aka Daniele Ricciarelli)
(1509–1566) painting, “The
Disposition”, 1545, in the Santa Trinità dei Monti in Rome (see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Descentfromthecross.jpg),
published in Rome by Vincenzo Billy (aka Vincenzo Belli; Vincenzo Billi) (early
1700s) (see British Museum: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_V-1-117)
or by Arnold van Westerhout (1651–1725) (see Istituto Centrale per la Grafica: https://www.calcografica.it/stampe/inventario.php?id=S-FC122156).
Interestingly,
Daniele da Volterra is the artist who added strategically placed drapery over
the nude figures in Michelangelo’s “The Last Judgement”, earning him the
nickname "il braghettone" (the breeches-maker).
