The Resurrection

Ludwig of Ulm

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting depicting a figure walking on a structure while holding a flag with a cross. The central figure has long hair, a beard, and a halo around the head, dressed in a red robe standing on a rectangular structure. The figure is holding a staff with a flag bearing a cross. Two other figures are seen crouching near the structure, both looking away, one with a hood and the other with a helmet. The colors are limited but create a distinct and simple representation. This is in the style of an early Christian or medieval religious illustration, reminiscent of woodcut prints often seen in religious texts from the period.
