The Risen Christ Adored by Saints and Angels

Giorgio Vasari

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a brown-toned artwork with two distinct scenes. The top scene shows a central figure of a man, bare-chested and wearing a cloth around his waist, with one arm raised and the other holding a staff or scepter. He stands on clouds, surrounded by multiple smaller figures of angels or cherubs. Some of these figures hold objects such as a cross and a flag. The bottom scene features two men on either side, dressed in robes, looking down at a group of three nude figures lying on the ground. On the left, one man sits on a block, while on the right, the other man kneels. The background of this scene includes a figure standing in a square frame. The overall artwork appears to be a sepia-toned relief sculpture, likely made of plaster or another material.
