The artwork titled “The Resurrection (La Résurrection)” is a religious painting by the artist James Tissot.
The artwork depicts the scene of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The focal point is the figure of Jesus, who is shown emerging with a serene and divine presence, bathed in a radiant light that signifies His holy resurrection. He is clothed in a simple white robe, symbolic of purity and salvation. Around Him, the soldiers, who were guarding the tomb, are depicted in various states of shock and awe, sprawled on the ground, overwhelmed by the miraculous event. The use of soft but dramatic light and detailed expressions emphasizes the sacredness and the momentous impact of this religious event. The background portrays the rocky surroundings of the tomb, lending historical and contextual accuracy to the scene.
