About the piece
Painted in 1856 by the French academic artist Émile Signol, this oil study was created for a mural in the Church of Saint-Eustache in Paris. The work captures the dramatic moment of the Resurrection, with the radiant figure of Christ ascending against a dark, atmospheric sky while soldiers below react in awe and fear.
