The Resurrection is a 1633 ink by François Collignon, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a group of robed figures gathered around a central scene. Trees with tangled branches frame the action, while one figure at the bottom seems to be rising from the ground. Above, other figures float or point toward the event, creating a sense of movement and drama. The artist used fine lines to build up texture, especially in the clothing and foliage. The light appears to glow from the center, highlighting the main figure’s dramatic pose. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this one created detailed prints.
