For Easter, my art history post presents my all-time favorite depiction of the Resurrection: by Matthias Grünewald (ca. 1470-1528), part of his Isenheim Altarpiece, a tour de force of Northern Renaissance painting. Even in reproduction, it has powerful impact: Christ emerging with blinding light and color, the Roman soldiers prostrate upon the ground.

None of the Gospel writers describe the actual event of the Resurrection. None of them were there to see it happen. They tell us of the aftermath, the encounters with Jesus. The most tender meeting occurs in the Book of John, with Mary Magdalen. "Woman, why are you crying?" He asks her, as she mistakes him for the gardener. Then, when he calls her by name, she recognizes him and cries out "Rabboni!" (which means Teacher).

Christ emerging from the tomb with blinding light and color, the Roman soldiers prostrate upon the ground. Khan Academy's website describes the Altarpiece as the most fantastically weird artistic production of Renaissance Christianity, "Christ is wreathed in orange, red and yellow body haloes and rises like a streaking fireball... " I couldn't put it better myself

The Agony In the Garden by Flemish painter Joachim Beuckelaer (1533-1574). According to Gospels, Jesus, accompanied by Peter, John and James, enters the garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives where he experiences great anguish and prays to be delivered from his impending suffering, while also accepting God's will.
