Christus opstanding c. 1711s

"Christus Opstanding" (Resurrection of Christ) is an etching by Willem de Broen, a Dutch artist who lived from 1686 to 1748. This artwork, dated around 1711, depicts the biblical event of Christ’s resurrection, where he emerges from his tomb while Roman soldiers recoil in fear and disbelief. The dramatic composition, dynamic poses, and strong use of light and shadow contribute to a powerful and evocative scene. This etching is a striking example of the artist's skill in capturing the intensity of religious subject matter, showcasing the enduring power of faith and the miraculous nature of Christ's resurrection. This print is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, Amsterdam.
