Resurrection 1644 - 1652

"Resurrection" is an etching created by Wenceslaus Hollar in 1644-1652 and is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The artwork depicts a scene from the Bible where Jesus is shown ascending into heaven, with soldiers feasting at his tomb below. Hollar's etching style showcases intricate detail and is a testament to his mastery of the technique. The scene satirizes the soldiers' obliviousness to the miracle happening above them, adding a humorous touch to a traditionally solemn subject.
