About this work

This painting shows two scenes side by side. On the left, a robed figure rises from a tomb with arms outstretched, surrounded by clouds and small angels. On the right, the same figure is nailed to a cross, with two women and a soldier below. The background is bright green, and the figures wear simple robes in earthy tones. The faces are flat and stylized, with little shading. The artist used bold outlines and bright colors to keep the focus on the story. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create depth with lines.
