The Morning of the Resurrection 1882

Edward Burne-Jones' "The Morning of the Resurrection" (1882) is a Pre-Raphaelite painting that depicts the moment of Christ's resurrection. The composition, characterized by elongated figures and soft, ethereal colors, reflects the influence of medieval art. The scene unfolds around an open tomb, where Christ, clad in a blue robe, appears before two angels. An air of wonder and awe pervades the painting, as the angels react with astonishment to Christ's newfound life. The muted tones and dramatic lighting contribute to the spiritual and mystical atmosphere, reflecting the profound significance of the event.
