The Resurrected Christ c. 1480

Sandro Botticelli's "The Resurrected Christ", created around 1480, presents a close-up portrait of a youthful Jesus, radiating a divine presence. The crown of thorns and the wounds on his hands and chest are stark reminders of his suffering, while the gentle expression and raised hand suggest a moment of peace and triumph. The use of light and shadow, characteristic of Botticelli's style, further emphasizes the depth of the scene and creates a sense of spiritual intensity. This devotional image embodies the traditional Christian theme of resurrection, offering a powerful meditation on Christ's sacrifice and redemption.
