The Resurrection n.d.

"The Resurrection" is an engraving by the German artist Israhel van Meckenem (1435-1503) depicting the moment when Jesus Christ rises from the dead. The print, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, captures the dramatic scene with meticulous detail, portraying the soldiers who are guarding the tomb in various states of shock and awe. Meckenem's work is known for its precise lines and skillful depiction of figures, creating a powerful visual narrative of a significant event in Christian tradition. The print's small scale makes it intimate and engaging, inviting the viewer to reflect on the momentous occasion.
