To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The panels had shrunk, and the paint had broken into scales. It was suggested that they should be THE DESCENT FROM THE CROSS. 81 transferred from their panels to canvas ; but a pause was made before trying this perilous experiment ; and at last it was determined only to clean and restore them. The old varnish and the re-painting which "The Descent from the Cross" had received in Paris, have been removed; and the picture is considered to have gained much by these losses. One key to the popular i...mpression produced by this picture is to be found in its unity. Every figure has closed around the dead Christ in a dense mass, and you have the strong effect of a single group. Carrying out the reference to St Christopher, each person is touching either the body, or the sheet by which the body is beino- lowered. Some are touching; both. One holds the sheet with his teeth in order that his hands may be free to assist in the descent. All are thus gathered about a common centre, and are brought into the closest contact.
