The Resurrection 1451 - 1500

"The Resurrection" by Sebastino di Mainardi depicts the moment of Christ's resurrection from the tomb. Standing triumphantly, Christ is depicted with a white flag bearing a red cross. The light emanating from his body illuminates the scene, casting a warm golden glow over the background. Three soldiers, who were guarding the tomb, are depicted at the bottom of the painting, overcome by fear and wonder at the sight of the resurrected Christ. The painting was created between 1451 and 1500 and is currently located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
