介绍（中）	基督的尸体躺在他母亲的腿上，他的躯干由亚利马太的约瑟支撑，他的左前臂由尼哥底母抓住。就在圣母身后，与圣母稍有距离，福音传道者圣约翰跪在那里祈祷。抹大拉的玛丽和一位女伴在最左边表达了他们平静的悲伤。从本质上讲，这是一个概念上的Pietà，这幅哀悼的画面突出了基督虚弱的身体，提醒观众，他的牺牲通过庆祝圣餐使人类的救赎成为可能。左下角下垂的罂粟花象征着睡眠和死亡。这幅画可能是勃艮第公爵夫人约克的玛格丽特（Margaret of York）在访问瓦伦西安参加金羊毛骑士团会议期间（1473年初）委托创作的。打结的C和M，以及面板背面的盾徽，表明了她的所有权，并提到了她与勃艮第公爵查尔斯的婚姻。
介绍（英）	The lifeless body of Christ rests in his mother's lap, his torso supported by Joseph of Arimathea and his proper left forearm grasped by Nicodemus. Just behind, and somewhat apart from the Virgin, Saint John the Evangelist kneels in prayer. Mary Magdalen and a female companion express their quiet grief at far left. Essentially a Pietà in concept, this image of mourning foregrounds Christ's limp body, reminding the viewer that his sacrifice makes possible mankind's salvation through the celebration of the Eucharist. The drooping poppy at bottom left symbolizes sleep and death. This painting was probably commissioned by Margaret of York, Duchess of Burgundy, during her visit to Valenciennes for the meeting of the Order of the Golden Fleece (early 1473). The knotted C's and M's, as well as the coat of arms on the panel's reverse, indicates her ownership and references her marriage to Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy.
