Jesus viser sig for apostelene 1460 - 1507

"Jesus viser sig for apostelene" (Jesus Appears to the Apostles), a drawing by Hans Leu d.Æ. (1460-1507), depicts a moment of divine revelation. The composition centers on a nude Jesus standing before his disciples, his wounds visible on his body. The apostles, clad in draped garments, reach out to touch Jesus, their expressions a mix of awe and disbelief. Leu d.Æ. masterfully captures the intense emotions of the scene through the use of detailed figures and expressive gestures, creating a powerful image of faith and resurrection. This drawing, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the artistic and religious sensibilities of the early 16th century.
