The Resurrection

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white engraving of a man standing on a stone slab, surrounded by several armored men. The central figure has long hair and a beard, wearing a cloth draped over his left shoulder and around his waist, exposing his torso and legs. He stands with his right leg on the slab and his left on the ground, holding a spear in his right hand and a cloth or banner in his left. A halo of lines radiates from behind his head. In the foreground, two armored men are positioned on either side of the slab. The man on the left sits on the ground, holding his helmet in his hands and resting his face on his knees. The man on the right stands with his right hand raised, holding a sword. A third armored figure lies on the slab behind the central figure. The background features a cloudy sky with lines radiating from the central figure's halo, suggesting movement or energy. In the distance, trees and a building are visible on the left side. At the bottom center of the image, a piece of paper bears the inscription "1512".
