The Resurrection, central panel from the Triptych of the Resurrection 1490

The central panel of Hans Memling's *Triptych of the Resurrection* depicts the moment of Christ's resurrection, a central event in Christian faith. Created in 1490, this oil on panel painting features Christ stepping out of the tomb, while three guards lie asleep at his feet. The resurrected Christ is shown in a red robe, a symbol of his divinity, while the guards' slumber symbolizes their inability to prevent the resurrection. The painting's realistic details and rich colors contribute to its vivid portrayal of this pivotal moment in Christian history. Located in the Louvre, Paris, the triptych's three panels, including *The Resurrection*, showcase Memling's mastery of Early Netherlandish art.
