Resurrection of Christ by Carl Bloch: Easter Morning in the Tomb, as a Vintage Poster (1875)
The stone has split, the guard has fled and left his helmet and sword on the ground, and Christ rises from the dark tomb with his arms lifted towards the light. Two angels kneel on either side, one with hands joined in prayer, the other with a hand pressed to the heart, while white lilies bloom at his feet. The Danish painter Carl Bloch dated this Resurrection of Christ 1875, and it belongs to the famous cycle of the life of Christ he painted for Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark.
