The Resurrection

About this work

This engraving shows a naked man rising from a tomb, his arms outstretched. Around him, soldiers sleep or cower, some clutching weapons. One angel holds a cross, another plays a lute, and a third looks on. The scene is packed with tiny details—coins, a helmet, a dog—all carved into the dark lines. This is a religious scene called *The Resurrection*. The artist used sharp lines and shadows to create depth, a trick called cross-hatching. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
