This print by Peter Paul Rubens depicts the biblical scene of the resurrection of Christ. An angel addresses the women who came to visit the tomb, while Jesus stands in the light behind him, ascending to heaven. This scene is commonly portrayed in art and is rich with religious and symbolic meaning. The print shows Rubens' signature dynamic composition and use of light and shadow, characteristic of the Baroque style of the 17th century.
