"The Resurrection" by Andrea Mantegna depicts the moment of Christ's resurrection. Christ stands triumphantly atop a rocky tomb, while three sleeping Roman guards lie below. The stark contrast between the two figures, the naturalism of the figures and the realistic landscape, and the overall sense of drama are hallmarks of Mantegna's style, representative of the Early Renaissance. This painting is currently housed at the National Gallery in London, United Kingdom.
