About this work

This painting shows a scene from the Bible. In the center, Jesus rises from a tomb, holding a staff. He wears a long robe and a halo. Around him are soldiers in armor, some on the ground. The background is a landscape with buildings and trees. The painting is made with a metalcut technique, which means it was printed from a metal plate. The colors are added by hand, with yellow, red-brown, and green. If you're interested in more art like this, you might want to explore the Renaissance movement.
