Opstanding c. 17th century

"Opstanding" is a 17th-century etching by the Monogrammist GC, depicting the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The scene shows a dramatic moment: Christ ascends from the tomb surrounded by angels, while Roman soldiers are knocked unconscious by the divine light. The use of chiaroscuro creates a stark contrast between the light and dark, adding to the intensity of the scene. The image is a powerful illustration of the central event of Christian faith - the resurrection, and a testament to the artistic skill of the Monogrammist GC.
