EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Resurrection" by Albrecht Altdorfer, a renowned German artist from the Renaissance era. Painted in 1527, this masterpiece is coated with oil on parchment and mounted on basswood, measuring 34.5x25 cm. Currently housed at the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland, it belongs to the Circle of Altdorfer. "The Resurrection" depicts a pivotal moment in Christian theology - Jesus Christ rising triumphantly from his tomb after being crucified. The painting beautifully captures the divine light illuminating the scene as guards stand bewildered by this miraculous event. The wood panel serves as a backdrop for intricate details such as wounds inflicted during Christ's crucifixion. Altdorfer's composition skillfully combines elements from biblical accounts found in the Gospels and New Testament, creating an emotionally charged representation of resurrection and redemption central to Christianity. Through his masterful brushwork and use of light, he conveys both the physicality of Christ's risen body and its spiritual significance. This artwork exemplifies Northern Renaissance art with its meticulous attention to detail and symbolic storytelling. It stands as a testament to Germany's rich religious heritage during a time marked by theological exploration and reformation. As we contemplate "The Resurrection" we are reminded of Christ's sacrifice for humanity's salvation while celebrating his triumphant victory over death itself. This powerful image invites us into deeper reflection on our own faith journey within Christianity.
