The Resurrection 1497 - 1507

Pietro Perugino's "The Resurrection" (1497-1507) portrays the moment Jesus Christ rises from the tomb. Standing triumphantly on a stone slab, Christ raises his right hand in blessing. Surrounding the scene are four soldiers, their faces marked with fear and disbelief. The landscape background, a hallmark of Perugino's style, adds a sense of serenity and grandeur to the scene. The painting, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a captivating example of High Renaissance art, demonstrating Perugino's meticulous detail and balanced composition.
