Jan Brueghel the Elder & Hans Rottenhammer
Christ's Descent into Limbo

Zu sehen in Saal 4

After his death, Christ was supposed to have descended into the underworld, to free Adam and Eve, and all the righteous, and take them up to heaven. This descent is depicted here by Brueghel I and Rottenhammer, who often worked together.

The small painting belonged to the family of Orange, and was part of the painting gallery of stadholder Willem V. Later it ended up in the Mauritshuis.
