1465
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Resurrection of the Dead is a 1465 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a ghostly scene with five simple figures rising from the ground. Above them, a trumpet-blowing angel floats in a cloudy sky. The colors are flat—green grass, gold clouds, and muted browns—with black outlines. The angel’s trumpet is a key detail, hinting at a religious story. This is a woodcut, an early printmaking method where artists carved images into wood. Look up woodcut to see how this technique worked.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
