About the piece

Painted around 1619 by Cecco del Caravaggio, this striking work captures the moment of the Resurrection with the intense chiaroscuro characteristic of the Caravaggisti. The scene is filled with movement as Christ ascends while an angel gestures toward the heavens, surrounded by soldiers in detailed contemporary armor who react with awe and confusion.
