The Resurrection 1470 - 1499

This anonymous painting, "The Resurrection" (1470-1499), depicts the moment when Jesus Christ rises from the tomb, witnessed by three guards. The composition is simple but powerful, focusing on the dramatic gesture of Christ stepping out of the tomb while the guards react in fear and surprise. This panel, likely part of a larger altarpiece, showcases the artistic style of the Northern Renaissance, with meticulous detail in the figures and landscape, and a vibrant color palette. It’s housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, a testament to the enduring power of faith and the enduring beauty of early Renaissance art.
