Resurrection c. 1570

Luca Cambiaso's "Resurrection" (c. 1570) is a pen and brown wash drawing depicting the moment of Christ's resurrection. The central figure of Christ stands atop a tomb, his arms raised in triumph, while figures below recoil in shock and awe. The dramatic composition and expressive figures are characteristic of Cambiaso's style, which blended the influence of Michelangelo and Raphael. The drawing's dynamism is further emphasized by the use of strong contrasts of light and shadow. The work is housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, a testament to the legacy of the Italian Renaissance master.
