Matthew 27:57-59; Mark 15:42-46; Luke 23:50-53; John 19:31-37
The moment when Jesus' body is taken down from the cross is significant in the Gospel narratives. After Jesus' death, His body is removed from the cross by a few of His followers, among them Joseph of Arimathea, who was a secret disciple of Jesus. This event marks the end of Jesus’ suffering on the cross, and the beginning of His preparation for burial.
Biblical Passage: Matthew 27:57-59 (KJV)
"When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered."
In this passage, Joseph of Arimathea steps forward to request Jesus' body from Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor. This was an unusual act because Roman crucifixion victims were typically left on the cross for public display or thrown into a mass grave. However, Joseph, a wealthy and influential man, secured the body of Jesus and prepared it for burial.
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
In Dalí’s surrealistic interpretation, the focus would likely be on the spiritual significance of Jesus' death and the transition from suffering to burial. Dalí would emphasize the divine nature of Jesus’ sacrifice through the use of melting forms, light, and abstract symbolism. The moment of Jesus' removal from the cross would be depicted with reverence and solemnity, capturing the spiritual and emotional weight of this act. The cosmic and eternal implications of Jesus' death would be reflected in the surreal distortion of the physical world, showing that His death was not just an earthly event, but one with divine and universal significance.
