EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolithograph print by James Tissot, titled "The Resurrection" we witness a powerful biblical scene from the New Testament. The artist skillfully depicts Christ rising from the tomb after the Angel of the Lord has rolled away the stone. As described in Matthew 28:2-4, Christ's countenance shines like lightning and his raiment is as white as snow. Tissot masterfully captures the concept of fear in this artwork. The keepers who were guarding the tomb are shown trembling with terror, their faces pale and their bodies frozen in awe. They appear to have fainted or become unconscious due to overwhelming fright at witnessing such a miraculous event. This 19th-century piece not only showcases Tissot's exceptional talent but also reflects his deep understanding of Christian beliefs and teachings. With meticulous attention to detail, he brings this biblical moment to life, evoking a sense of wonder and reverence among viewers. "The Resurrection" serves as a reminder of Jesus' triumph over death and holds great significance for those who follow Christianity. It symbolizes hope, renewal, and eternal life – central themes within Christian faith. Through this print collector's work, we can appreciate both Tissot's artistic brilliance and his profound spiritual connection with Jesus Christ. This remarkable portrayal invites us to reflect on our own beliefs while marveling at the divine power that transcends time itself.
