Opstanding c. 1581 - 1645

This etching, *Opstanding* (Resurrection) by Karel van Mallery, depicts the moment Jesus Christ rises from the tomb. He steps out of the stone tomb, a halo radiating light from his head, while Roman guards lay stunned and defeated at his feet. This engraving, created between 1581 and 1645, captures the power and majesty of the resurrection and showcases van Mallery's talent for depicting both human emotion and divine power through line and shading. The artwork, now located in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artist's skill in creating evocative visual narratives that explore profound religious themes.
