About the Artwork
Title: The Resurrection
Artist: Carl Heinrich Bloch
Date: 1881
Collection: Saint Jacobs Church, Copenhagen, Denmark
Carl Bloch’s The Resurrection stands as one of the most stirring portrayals of Christ’s victory over death. Painted in 1881 by the Danish master, this radiant scene reveals the Risen Lord at the centre, His arms lifted in triumph and glory. Brilliant light pours forth, casting away the shadows of the tomb and flooding the world with divine hope.
At the base of the composition, two angels kneel in adoration, their presence announcing the majesty of Heaven. The Roman guards have fled in fear, leaving behind their weapons and the dying glow of their fire. From the stone tomb bloom white lilies, eternal symbols of purity, virtue, and new life.
Through the harmony of light, gesture, and devotion, Bloch captures the mystery of the Resurrection, the moment when darkness yields to everlasting day.
Spiritual Reflection
This painting draws us into the radiant mystery at the heart of our faith: the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this moment, the Father glorifies the Son, and death is forever conquered. The light that pours from the empty tomb is the light of new creation, a sign that all who believe in Christ are called to share in His risen life.
“He is not here, for he has risen, as he said.”
Matthew 28:6
