The Resurrection of Christ
Francesco Fontebasso
circa 1759
The Tridentine Diocesan Museum
Trento, Italy
In the painting, based on a highly effective theatrical variant, Christ resurrected in a burst of clouds is invested by light and floats above the sepulchre, holding the white banner. Below, two angels open the empty tomb, while the terrified guards flee.
Wishing everyone much much happiness and joy as the world celebrates Easter today.
