Opstanding van Christus 1571 - 1632

"Opstanding van Christus" is a 16th-century engraving by Antoni van Leest depicting the resurrection of Christ. The artwork depicts Christ rising from his tomb as Roman soldiers witness the miracle in fear and awe. The scene is set in a dramatic and dynamic composition with emphasis on the contrast between the heavenly figure of Christ and the earthly figures of the soldiers. The artwork's use of light and shadow contributes to its sense of drama and the overall effect of awe and amazement. The engraving is a prime example of Renaissance art that combines realistic details with a focus on religious themes.
