The Resurrection of Christ c. 1528 - 1529

Parmigianino's "The Resurrection of Christ" (c. 1528-1529) is a powerful etching depicting the moment Christ rises from the tomb. The composition emphasizes the divine figure of Christ as he ascends, radiating light and surrounded by swirling drapery, while the soldiers below are caught in a state of fear and disbelief. Parmigianino's characteristic elongated figures and intricate details are showcased in this small but impactful print. The work demonstrates his mastery of the etching medium and his ability to convey religious themes with dramatic intensity.
