Resurrection of Christ

Mikołaj Obilman's Resurrection of Christ presents the triumphant emergence from the tomb in the standard late Gothic iconographic formula, the risen Christ stepping from the sarcophagus while sleeping soldiers lie below. The Resurrection was the theological culmination of the entire altarpiece Passion cycle, and Obilman's treatment maintains the formal conventions expected of north-central European altarpiece production while demonstrating the regional synthesis of German and Flemish influences that characterized Polish-Prussian painting in the period.

The Resurrection scene employs the conventional iconography of the risen Christ stepping from the sarcophagus while soldiers sleep, rendered in Obilman's characteristic Central European style with vivid coloring and expressive detail.
