MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Resurrection of Christ

🖼 Resurrection of Christ, 1532-33
Black pencil
381 × 252 cm
Florence, Italy

Explosive movement radiates from Christ's muscular form as he ascends, rendered with anatomical precision and dynamic energy. Michelangelo's composition revolutionized Renaissance religious art, establishing the heroic male nude as the ultimate vehicle for spiritual transcendence and divine power.
