The Risen Christ 1533

Michelangelo's "The Risen Christ," a powerful black chalk drawing from 1533, depicts Christ's resurrection. With his body contorted in a dynamic pose, Christ's hand reaches towards the heavens, while his other hand is flung back in a gesture of dramatic action. The dynamic composition emphasizes the resurrection and ascension of Christ. The drawing exemplifies Michelangelo's masterful rendering of the human figure, highlighting the anatomical detail and expressive power of his draftsmanship.
