This hand-colored lithograph, depicting Christ after his descent from the cross, mirrors the central figures in Rogier van der Weyden's Entombment from around 1450 (Uffizi, Florence). Nitsch made the work as a blueprint for an underground complex which, according to Nitsch, would feature tunnels and chambers based on the inner workings of the human body.
