Christ Appearing to the Apostles

Venetian 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a central figure standing with a staff or cross in the center, surrounded by multiple other figures. The central figure appears to be raising one hand, with smaller figures around them in various postures. The sculpture is made from a bronze-colored metal with a slightly worn surface. The figures are intricately detailed, with their drapery and hair sculpted with attention to texture and depth, creating a three-dimensional effect against the flat background of the rectangular frame.
