Resurrection 1447

Andrea del Castagno's "Resurrection" (c. 1447) is a fresco that depicts the moment of Christ's resurrection from the tomb. The central figure of Christ, with his outstretched arms and triumphant gaze, stands above a sarcophagus as two angels, one with a red robe and the other with a white robe, gesture towards him. The scene is framed by a decorative arch and a band of repeating motifs. Castagno's use of perspective and his emphasis on anatomical detail are characteristic of the Early Renaissance in Florence. The work showcases his mastery of fresco painting, using vibrant colors and expressive figures to convey the profound religious significance of the event.
