Beskrivning

This print depicts the dramatic biblical scene of The Resurrection of Christ. Christ is shown ascending from the tomb at the center, holding the banner of victory, surrounded by a swirling host of cherubs. Below him, Roman soldiers are scattered in various poses of fear, amazement, or sleep, having been overthrown by the divine event. The scene is framed by a landscape with palm trees, enhancing the dramatic and religious narrative. This engraving is a religious print created for wider dissemination by the influential Galle publishing house.

Philips Galle was a highly influential Dutch engraver, print dealer, and publisher active in Antwerp during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He established a major publishing business that produced numerous high-quality engravings, often after designs by leading Mannerist artists like Maerten van Heemskerck. His extensive output covered historical, mythological, and religious subjects, significantly influencing print culture across Europe.
