Auferstehung Christi

This Resurrection of Christ by the Master of the Freising Passion belongs to the extensive Passion cycle created for Freising Cathedral around 1485. The triumphant risen Christ emerging from the tomb provided the climactic conclusion to the narrative sequence. The Freising Master's emotionally charged interpretation of Christ's Passion represents one of the most important devotional painting cycles in late fifteenth-century Bavaria. This work belongs to the Early Renaissance, the transformative period in European art when painters first applied mathematical perspective, naturalistic figure modeling, and archaeological interest in antiquity to the inherited traditions of medieval devotional painting.
