Heilige Helena en het wonder waarbij dode tot leven komt bij het ware kruis 1748 - 1752

This etching, created by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo between 1748 and 1752, depicts a scene from the legend of Saint Helena. The image portrays the moment when Saint Helena raises a dead man to life by touching him with a fragment of the True Cross. The composition focuses on the dramatic gesture of the saint, as she raises her hand towards the heavens and the resurrected man. The detail in the etching is remarkable, giving a sense of depth and realism to the scene. This artwork exemplifies the characteristic style of Tiepolo, with its dramatic composition, expressive figures, and attention to detail.
