The Resurrection 1570 - 1590

"The Resurrection" is a black chalk and wash drawing by the Italian artist Santi di Tito, dated between 1570 and 1590. The drawing depicts the moment of Christ’s resurrection as described in the Bible. This drawing is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The image is characterized by the dynamic movement of the figures, especially in the depiction of Christ rising into the heavens. The contrasting values of the gray wash and black chalk add to the drama of the scene, creating a powerful visual representation of the resurrection of Christ.
