The Resurrection of Christ (Il Cristo risorto) 1970

"The Resurrection of Christ" (Il Cristo risorto), a woodcut by Italian artist Pietro Parigi (1892-1992) from 1970, depicts the biblical event of Jesus Christ's resurrection. The artwork is composed in stark black and white, with a dramatic silhouette of Christ rising from a tomb, his arms raised in triumph. The background features a simplified depiction of the Basilica di San Miniato al Monte, a prominent Florentine church, suggesting a setting steeped in religious history. This powerful image, executed with bold lines and contrasting light and dark areas, emphasizes the triumphant nature of Christ's resurrection.
