The artwork, titled “The Resurrection,” was created by the Limbourg brothers and belongs to the International Gothic art movement. This piece is an illustration from the renowned series “Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry.”
The artwork depicts a radiant and ethereal scene centered around the resurrection of Christ. At the forefront, Christ, adorned with a golden halo and wrapped modestly in a glowing cloth, extends his hand in a gesture of blessing or interaction with an angel clad in white. The background is painted with a stunning landscape, characterized by a darkened sky subtly transitioning to lighter hues, which adds to the divinely atmospheric setting. Surrounding the central scene are intricate floral motifs and smaller images of angels and a praying figure, emphasizing the devotional nature of the illustration. The detailed manuscript text below further enriches the composition with illuminated letters and decorative flourishes, integral to the artwork’s historical and aesthetic value.
