This painting shows a scene with Jesus Christ rising from the dead. He's standing on a stone structure, wearing a white cloth draped around his waist and over his left shoulder. His right arm is raised, holding a flag with a cross on it. There are several men around him, some of whom appear to be soldiers or guards. They seem to be reacting to Jesus' resurrection, with some looking up at him in shock or awe. The background of the painting is dark and shadowy, which contrasts with the lighter colors used for Jesus and the other figures. The artist of this painting is Andrea Mantegna.
