The Resurrection with Two Saints

Italian (possibly Perugian) 15th/16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is an oval-shaped relief depicting a central figure emerging from a rectangular structure resembling a carved box or tomb. The central figure is draped in a garment, standing with an arm raised, and holding a staff with a flag. Two smaller figures, possibly angels or followers with halos, are on each side. The entire composition is within a raised border. The sculpture appears to be metal, likely bronze, with a dark brown color and subtle lighter highlights indicating wear or patina. The sculpture has detailed engravings on its surface for texture.
