The Mysteries of the Passion: The Resurrection is a 1631 by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a group of people gathered on a shore, looking up at a figure rising from the water. The figure has a glowing aura, with rays shooting out behind them. The people below are dressed in old-fashioned robes, some kneeling, others standing, all focused on the scene. Notice how the artist used strong light and shadow to make the figure stand out. The dark water contrasts with the bright rays, drawing your eye to the center. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this technique works in other art.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
