The Risen Christ Appearing to the Virgin

Francesco Solimena

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene with multiple figures. The central figure is a shirtless man with long brown hair and a halo, wearing a cloth wrapped around his waist, holding a staff with a flag featuring a red cross. He stands on the right side, slightly turned to his left. To his left is a woman with a head covering, wearing a pink dress and blue cloak, sitting and looking up. Behind the central figure, an angel with wings and a dark dress touches the man's shoulder. Three small cherubs are positioned at the bottom and behind the figures. The background includes a stone structure on the left and distant sheep. The floor is made of large tiles, and flowers are scattered at the bottom. The overall atmosphere is one of religious significance. The artist's style is Baroque. The scene represents The Risen Christ Appearing to the Virgin.
