1490
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Resurrection is a 1490 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a bright, flat scene with bold colors. A figure with a golden halo stands in the center, holding a cross and raising one hand. Two people on the ground look up at them, one with a red hat and the other reaching out. The sky is blue with wavy lines, and the grass is green. The figures are simple shapes with strong outlines, typical of early printed images. This style was used before detailed paintings became common. Next, look up technique: woodcut to see how this image was made.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
