Opstanding van Christus 1530 - 1582

"Opstanding van Christus" is a Renaissance engraving by Italian artist Giorgio Ghisi, created between 1530 and 1582. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the moment of Christ’s resurrection. The scene is dominated by the ascending figure of Jesus, radiating light, as he rises from the tomb, guarded by Roman soldiers who have been struck with fear and awe. The intricate details and dramatic composition showcase the mastery of Ghisi’s printmaking techniques, making this a classic example of Renaissance religious art.
