Andrea Mantegna's 1475 engraving, "The Resurrected Christ between St. Andrew and Longinus", showcases his masterful use of line and detail. The central figure, Christ, stands confidently, his body depicted with anatomical precision. The two figures to the left and right are St. Andrew and Longinus, their expressions of awe and reverence further emphasizing Christ's power. The use of shading, particularly in the cross and the figures' drapery, creates depth and volume, characteristic of Mantegna's style. This piece is a striking example of Early Renaissance engraving.
