Resurrection (Grey Passion-12) 1500

"Resurrection (Grey Passion-12)" is a painting by Hans Holbein the Elder, completed around 1500. It depicts the moment of Jesus' resurrection, with the risen Christ standing triumphantly over the overturned tomb, while Roman soldiers flee in terror. The soldiers, depicted in a mix of fear and confusion, contrast sharply with Christ's calmness and majesty. Holbein's meticulous detail and realism, evident in the soldiers' armor and the tomb's structure, are characteristic of his style. The work is currently housed in the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Germany, and exemplifies the High Renaissance emphasis on realism and human anatomy within religious themes.
