Resurrection

Bartolomeo di Tommaso's Resurrection at the Fondation de France, painted around 1450, depicts Christ rising triumphant from the tomb. Bartolomeo was an Umbrian painter whose expressive, energetic style reflected the distinctive artistic traditions of the region between Rome and Florence Resurrection scenes combined triumphant theological declaration with dramatic compositional challenges, as artists depicted the moment Christ rose from the dead before sleeping guards.

The risen Christ emerges from the tomb with dynamic energy, rendered in Bartolomeo di Tommaso's characteristic vigorous manner with the strong color and expressive figure drawing of the Umbrian school.
