Wederopstanding van Christus 1587 - 1589

This engraving, "Wederopstanding van Christus" (Resurrection of Christ), was created by Johann Sadeler I in the late 16th century. The artwork depicts the moment of Christ's resurrection, rising from the tomb while soldiers watch in astonishment. Sadeler, a renowned printmaker, utilizes masterful detail and composition to convey the dramatic scene. The use of light and shadow, along with the dynamic poses of the figures, adds further emphasis to the miraculous event. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a powerful visual interpretation of a central Christian belief.
