Opstanding van Christus 1669 - 1678

This etching, *Opstanding van Christus* (Resurrection of Christ), was created by an anonymous artist in the late 17th century. The print depicts a powerful image of a resurrected Christ, standing with a cross in hand, and his resurrected body radiant in light. This image is characteristic of Baroque art, which emphasized emotion and drama, and reflected the Counter-Reformation's focus on reviving Catholic faith. While the artist is unknown, the print's attribution suggests it is likely from a workshop that followed the style of the renowned Flemish artist, Gaspar de Crayer. The image is an example of an artistic interpretation of a pivotal event in Christian theology.
