Description

The painting "Christ Resurrected" by Peter Paul Rubens is a masterpiece of Baroque art depicting the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The composition of the painting is impressive, with the figure of Christ at the center of the image, surrounded by a group of angels and saints. The figure of Christ is the largest in the painting, giving it a sense of importance and power.

Rubens' artistic style is evident in painting, with his use of the chiaroscuro technique to create a dramatic effect of light and shadow. The colors used in the painting are vibrant and rich, with warm shades of red, yellow and orange creating a feeling of warmth and life.

The story behind the painting is interesting, as it was commissioned by Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Austria for his private chapel in Brussels. The painting was completed in 1619 and was one of Rubens's first major works.

A little known aspect of the painting is that Rubens used live models to create the figures of Christ and angels. It is said that the model for the figure of Christ was Rubens himself, while the angels were modeled by his children and other members of his family.

In summary, the painting "Christ Resurrected" by Peter Paul Rubens is an impressive work of Baroque art that combines a dramatic composition with a vibrant use of color and chiaroscuro technique. The story behind the painting and the use of live models to create the figures add an additional layer of interest to this masterpiece of art.
