This 17th-century relief sculpture by Pietro Paolo Nardi, depicting the risen Christ, is a striking example of Renaissance-inspired religious art. The gold-leafed bronze panel showcases Christ in a dynamic pose, his hand raised in blessing, a chalice and paten at his feet symbolizing the Eucharist. The intricate detail and naturalistic depiction of Christ's body reflect the influence of the High Renaissance, while the overall composition maintains a traditional devotional feel. The "Tabernacle door with the risen Christ" is a powerful testament to the enduring power of faith and the artistic excellence of its period.
