Wederopstanding van Christus 1585 - 1586

"Wederopstanding van Christus" (Resurrection of Christ) is an engraving created by Flemish artist Philips Galle in 1585-1586. The artwork depicts the moment Christ ascends into heaven, surrounded by angels, while Roman soldiers lie on the ground below in shock and awe. The composition is dynamic, with Christ's figure dominating the center of the scene. The use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the image. Galle was a prolific printmaker known for his intricate engravings of religious and mythological subjects. This print exemplifies his masterful command of line and detail. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the powerful imagery and emotional intensity of religious art of the Renaissance.
