Christi Auferstehung 1924

"Christi Auferstehung" (Christ's Resurrection), painted in 1924 by Austrian artist Albin Egger-Lienz, depicts a powerful scene of Christ's resurrection. The composition is stark and simplified, with a focus on the central figure of Christ, who sits on a coffin. Three mourners, their faces filled with sorrow, are seated in the foreground. The painting's starkness and emotional intensity reflect Egger-Lienz's interest in the Expressionist movement and his focus on portraying the human condition. This painting, with its strong symbolism and emotional impact, has captivated audiences with its portrayal of faith and the transformative power of resurrection.
