The Resurrection

Giulio Bonasone

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white engraving of a resurrection scene. A shirtless man with short hair and a cloth wrapped around his lower body is rising from a tomb, with a cloth flowing behind him and a cross on top of it. He is surrounded by a halo of light. Below him, several men are gathered around the tomb. On the left, a man is embracing another and holding a shield. To the right, two men in armor are standing, one holding a sword and the other a shield. In the foreground, two men are on the ground; one is kneeling and the other is lying down. The scene has a dramatic and intense atmosphere, with strong lines and shading. The style is reminiscent of Baroque-era art. The engraving is titled "The Resurrection" and was created by Giulio Bonasone.
