The Resurrection of Christ 1497

"The Resurrection of Christ" is a 1497 woodcut by Albrecht Dürer, a master of Northern Renaissance art. The print depicts the moment of Christ's resurrection, as he steps out of the tomb, radiating light, while the guards are knocked unconscious by his power. Dürer's meticulous detail is evident in the precise rendering of the guards' armor and the dramatic drapery of Christ's garment. This powerful image is a testament to Dürer's skill in translating religious narrative into a visually compelling artwork, embodying the central tenets of Christian faith.
