Resurrection of Christ n.d.

Giacinto Boccanera's "Resurrection of Christ" depicts the moment Christ rises from the tomb, ascending to heaven with a flag bearing a cross. Below, soldiers are shown reacting in terror to the miraculous event. The 18th-century artist, a prominent figure in the Neapolitan Baroque style, uses masterful draughtsmanship in this pen-and-ink drawing, capturing a dramatic, dynamic scene. This artwork from The Art Institute of Chicago highlights the power of the Resurrection story through its masterful use of light, shadow, and perspective.
