EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Anastasis" a remarkable 17th-century tempera on panel painting by the Greek School. Measuring 47x40 cm, this artwork is held in a private collection and depicts an awe-inspiring scene of Christ trampling the gates of hell. The resurrected figures of the Just people from the Old Testament can be seen occupying both sides of this powerful composition. Intricately detailed and masterfully executed, "The Anastasis" transports viewers to a momentous event in Christian theology – the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Surrounded by a celestial mandorla, or almond-shaped halo, Christ stands triumphant amidst swirling clouds and billowing robes. With his foot firmly planted on the shattered gates of hell, he symbolizes victory over death and sin. As we explore this image further, our gaze is drawn to other significant figures present in this divine narrative. Solomon, Eve, King David, John the Forerunner (also known as John the Baptist), Adam – they all bear witness to this miraculous event unfolding before them. Angels hover above while rocks crumble beneath their feet. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail and vibrant color palette within this photograph. It allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance as an example of Greek religious art from centuries past.
