1465
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Christ Appearing to the Apostles is a 1465 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four ghostly figures with big halos, standing in a flat, blocky style. Their robes are simple shapes—mostly browns and greens—with sharp black outlines. The background is just a patch of green grass, and the figures look like they’re floating slightly off the ground. The names "Christ" and "Peter" are written above two of the heads, hinting this is a religious scene. The colors are faded but still bright, with touches of yellow and red. If you like this style, check out the technique: woodcut.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
