The Resurrection

Giorgio Colonna

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person standing at the center. The person is standing with their right leg slightly forward and raises their right hand with two fingers extended while the left hand holds a red cross-like staff. The individual has medium-length, wavy brown hair and a beard, with a fair complexion. They are wrapped in a light, flowing cloth around the hips, leaving the chest and legs exposed. Surrounding them, there are two figures; one on the left side is seen collapsing with limbs bent, dressed in blue and green, and on the right, an armored figure is on one knee, resting their hands on a shield, with another, partially hidden figure in red beneath the armored one. The setting is bordered with an ornate gold frame and features an oval space at the top with a depiction of a bird and, at the bottom, the text "IN LUMINE TUO VIDEBIMUS LUMEN" inscribed within the frame. The overall background is minimal, emphasizing the figures and the elaborate frame.
