The Resurrection of Christ, 1622. Johann König (German, 1586-1642). Oil on copper; unframed: 61 x 46 cm (24 x 18 1/8 in.). According to Christian belief, three days after his death by crucifixion, Christ rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. Königs interpretation of this traditional theme employs vivid colors and explosive poses to express the drama of the event. Meticulous brushwork delineates exquisite details, and draws attention to the luminous landscape and the three holy women hastening towards Christs vacant tomb.
