| Andrea Mantegna, Italy [1431-1506] 'Resurrection' 1457-59 |
'Resurrection', a tempera on panel painting by Andrea Mantegna dating from 1457-59 is now located in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Tours, France.
The painting depicts a radiant Christ stepping out of his tomb, surrounded by angels and holding the Resurrection flag, a flag of the crusaders which became a trope found in Resurrection paintings from around the time of the Renaissance. The Roman soldiers on guard are shown traditionally shocked and overwhelmed.

ReplyDeleteYes indeed!
DeleteA beautiful post, Patricia. Easter Joy and blessings to you as we celebrate Christ's resurrection.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lorrie. Hope you are having a blessed and peaceful Easter over there :)
DeleteHappy Easter Trish! Thanks for sharing a resurrection painting I've never seen. I love it and think Andrea Mantegna had techniques and a realistic style that was ahead of his time.
ReplyDeleteAnd I aways appreciate the equally unmatched beauty of nature found in your very own garden. Love your flowers!!!
Mantegna was such a brilliant painting: I think this one deserved a bit of publicity! Happy Easter Debra.

DeleteThanks for sharing this amazing painting on Easter Sunday. Have you ever heard the hymn which was written by an American woman called "The First One Ever To Know"? It is in the 1982 Episcopal Hymnal. We never sang it in our church but I found it in the hymnal and I love the words. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI just looked up this hymn, Kay, as I have never heard of it. What a pretty melody and really special sentiments with an emphasis on the women in Christ's life. Happy Easter to you!
