Învierea lui Iisus, cu 12 scene de praznic is a work by Simion Poienaru, held at Alba Iulia Orthodox Archdiocese.
This panel is packed with small scenes. Each box shows people standing still, dressed in simple robes. Bright colors—greens, reds, and golds—stand out against dark backgrounds. One big figure in the center has wings and a glowing face. Around him, other scenes show groups of people, some holding babies or standing near trees. The writing in each box looks like old church text. The border is full of orange flowers and swirls. This style was used in old religious art to tell stories for people who couldn’t read. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists made shading with lines.
Simion Poienaru liked to tuck little parties around his holy scenes—tiny figures dancing in the margins of Jesus’s resurrection, like uninvited guests who’d wandered in from a village wedding.
