You see a glowing Christ rising from a dark tomb, arms spread wide against a deep blue sky. This isn’t the final painting—it’s a practice sketch for a stained-glass window in Boston’s Trinity Church. La Farge tested colors and light here before cutting glass. The soft edges and luminous tones show how he blended painting with craft. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
