About this work

This painting shows two big scenes side by side. On the left, a robed figure rises from a tomb while angels look on. On the right, another figure hangs on a cross with two people standing below. Bright colors—blues, oranges, greens—fill the background. Tiny clouds and gold details add shine. The figures are flat and simple, with bold outlines. Their faces are calm, almost like cut-out shapes. The colors pop against the dark frame. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
