Description

The Resurrection

Carl Heinrich Bloch, 1881

The influence of the Renaissance is strongly evident in The Resurrection with its powerful pyramidal composition, giving the subject the import that it is due. The majestic Christ, bathed in light, stands at the apex of the triangle, with arms stretched upward. The two angels forming the base act as heavenly sentinels who worship and at the same time guard Him. The strong contrast of light and dark serves to emphasize Christ’s emergence from the tomb. The spear, the helmet, and smoldering fire have been abandoned by the guards as they fled in fear after the earth began to quake, and angels descend to roll back the heavy stone that sealed the tomb. A die with the number six lies on the fissured stone, perhaps referring to the casting of lots for his raiment by the guards.  (Excerpt taken from The Master’s Hand: The Art of Carl Heinrich Bloch)

Oh death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? – 1 Corinthians 15:55

More About Bloch

Carl Bloch was an academic Danish painter who is best known for his paintings depicting the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.

He received his artistic training at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Later, while living in Rome for several years, Bloch studied paintings by the great Italian masters.

When he returned to Copenhagen, Bloch quickly established a reputation as a religious painter. This led to major commissions for paintings in churches and chapels of Denmark and Sweden.

His extensive body of work includes over 250 paintings and 78 etchings. Still, Bloch considered his religious works to be his most valuable contributions. His productive career ended early when he died of cancer at the age of only fifty-five.
