1502

Dominant colour
Risen Christ Between Saints Andrew and Longinus is a 1502 by Giovanni Antonio da Brescia, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows three men standing side by side. The man in the middle has no clothes on, his body detailed with muscles and a halo above his head. He’s pointing upward with one hand. The man on the left holds a long stick and wears a robe with folds. The man on the right stands with his hands together, dressed in armor and a short skirt-like garment. The middle figure looks like he’s risen from the dead, a common theme in Renaissance art. Notice how the shadows and light create depth, making the figures look three-dimensional. Check out chiaroscuro to see how artists used light and dark to add drama.
Giovanni Antonio da Brescia was an Italian engraver of northern Italy, active in the approximate period 1490–1519, during the Italian Renaissance.
