Resurrection 1579

El Greco's *Resurrection* (1579) is a dramatic depiction of Christ's ascension from the tomb. The painting, housed in the Monastery of Saint Dominic of Silos in Toledo, Spain, features a powerful, elongated Christ figure, characteristic of El Greco's Mannerist style, rising above the tomb with his arms outstretched. The figures below seem to be in a state of astonishment and disbelief. This masterpiece showcases El Greco's mastery of color, light, and composition, with his signature elongated figures creating a sense of heightened emotion and religious awe.
