MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: The Risen Christ (first version)

🖼 The Risen Christ (first version), c. 1515
Marble, height 205 cm
Bassano Romano, Italy

A muscular Christ emerges upright, holding a cross and banner, rendered with classical anatomy and dramatic contrapposto. Michelangelo's monumental figure synthesizes Renaissance humanism with Christian triumph, establishing the heroic Christ archetype for centuries.
