The painting depicts a biblical scene. A central figure rises from what appears to be a tomb or below ground. This figure has their arms raised. Surrounding the central figure are several other figures, some of whom have wings, suggesting they may be angels. Some of the figures are positioned on clouds. At the bottom of the painting, there are several figures lying on the ground, some of whom appear to be dead or dying. One figure wears a helmet and carries a sword and shield. The overall mood of the painting appears to be one of drama and intensity, with a focus on the central figure and their interaction with the other figures. The artwork is by Martin Johann Schmidt and is titled "The Resurrection".
