The Resurrection, right hand predella panel from the Altarpiece of St. Zeno of Verona 1459

Andrea Mantegna's "The Resurrection" (1459) is a predella panel from the Altarpiece of St. Zeno of Verona. The painting depicts the moment of Christ's resurrection, emerging from his tomb. Mantegna's use of perspective and foreshortening, a signature technique of the Early Renaissance, draws the viewer's eye into the dramatic scene. The guards' astonished expressions add to the sense of awe and wonder surrounding the resurrected Christ. This artwork offers a powerful visual representation of a pivotal moment in Christian faith.
