The Resurrection of Christ 1881

This etching, created in 1881 by Danish artist Carl Bloch, depicts the Resurrection of Christ. The central figure of Jesus, radiating light, stands triumphantly over a broken tomb, his arms raised in a gesture of victory. Two kneeling angels flanking him represent reverence and awe. The scene is rendered in black and white, utilizing light and shadow to create a sense of drama and grandeur. This artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a powerful depiction of a pivotal Christian event.
