“Resurrection, Tidying,” created in 1945 by Stanley Spencer, is a religious painting belonging to the Neo-Romanticism art movement. It is part of the “Port Glasgow Resurrection” series.
The artwork depicts an intricate scene of resurrection filled with various figures engaging in different activities, such as tidying and interacting with one another amidst a backdrop of gravestones and lush greenery. The composition captures a sense of movement and life, as people are portrayed in various poses, some seated and others standing, engaged in communal tasks. The vivid details, expressive gestures, and the blend of natural and supernatural elements reflect Spencer’s distinct Neo-Romantic style, imbuing the scene with both mysticism and vitality.
