Christ Resurrected 1616

"Christ Resurrected" is a Baroque painting by Peter Paul Rubens, created in 1616. The painting depicts Christ's resurrection, with a triumphant Christ emerging from his tomb and ascending into Heaven. Rubens captures the moment with dramatic lighting and swirling drapery, emphasizing the power and divinity of Christ. Surrounding him are angels, symbolizing the heavenly host and the glory of the resurrection. This painting, now in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, exemplifies Rubens’ masterful use of color, composition, and emotion to convey a powerful religious narrative.
