Best Answer

From the Painting "The Descent From the Cross" by Van Der Weyden.

The work was a attempt by van Der Weyden to create a masterpiece that would establish an international reputation.

Van Der Weyden positioned Christ's body in the T Shape of a crossbow to reflect the commission from the Leavenguild of archers for their chapel.



That I believe that is why crossbows and arrows are Incorporated in the Paintings of that era.
