The Resurrection is a 1570 ink by Philip Galle, a Renaissance work, held at Rosenwald Collection.
This scene is packed with drama. At the center, two robed figures stand on a rocky hill, one raising arms as if calling out. Below them, soldiers in armor and helmets scramble, some crawling on the ground, others clutching their heads. A few lie scattered, weapons and gear tossed aside. To the right, three cloaked figures watch from a distance, their faces calm. The sky is dark and swirling, with beams of light shooting down like rays. The artist used tiny lines to build up shadows and depth, making the scene feel almost three-dimensional. The soldiers’ confused reactions and the quiet observers add layers to the chaos. Look up engraving to see how artists like this one carved intricate details into metal.
