Resurrection of Christ is a 1404 by Unknown, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This oval print shows a bearded man rising from a tomb, one hand raised as if blessing. Below him, a woman kneels, looking up with her hands folded. The scene is carved into the surface, with rough textures for the rocks and folds in the man’s cloth. The artist used deep shadows and simple lines to create drama. The woman’s head covering and the tomb’s rough edges hint at a time when art focused on storytelling over realism. Look up Renaissance next to see how this style changed art forever.
