"Opstanding van de doden" (Resurrection of the Dead), created between 1691 and 1733 by Louis Surugue (1686 - 1762), depicts a dramatic scene of the resurrection. The central figure, Christ, stands amidst a chaotic crowd, reaching out to those rising from the dead. The print's detailed composition emphasizes the contrast between the earthly and the spiritual realm, with figures emerging from the ground as clouds gather overhead. Surugue’s work exemplifies the Baroque style, with its dramatic use of light and shadow and focus on human emotion. The print is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
