Resurrection of Christ 1827

Gerardus Gossen created this drawing, Resurrection of Christ, using pen and brown ink with watercolor in 1607. Gossen made this piece in a historical and cultural context deeply shaped by religious narratives. The artist's choice to depict the resurrected Christ emerging triumphantly conveys the intersection of divine power and human hope. The fallen soldiers, rendered helpless, underscore the limitations of earthly authority in the face of spiritual transcendence. The angel, often seen as a messenger of God, is also present. Consider Gossen’s depiction of the resurrection story as an exploration of power dynamics. The emotional core lies in the representation of transformation and victory over death. The work reflects societal values and spiritual longings.
