From the collection of Art Institute of Chicago
Resurrection of Christ is a 1665 oil by Samuel van Hoogstraten, a Baroque work, depicting Resurrection of Jesus, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting shows Jesus rising from the dead, surrounded by people. It's an oil on canvas work from around 1665. The artist used light and dark to create a sense of drama. The use of light and dark is interesting, it makes the scene feel more realistic. The artist's use of shadows adds depth to the scene, check out the technique of chiaroscuro.
