Resurrection, 1625-77 - A Timeless Depiction of Faith and Feast
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black and white etching titled "Resurrection" created by the talented Wenceslaus Hollar in the 17th century, we are transported to a world where spirituality intertwines with earthly pleasures. The scene unfolds amidst billowing clouds, symbolizing the divine realm that oversees human existence. At its heart lies a powerful concept - the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This pivotal moment in Christian theology is beautifully rendered as Christ emerges from his tomb, bringing hope and salvation to all who believe. Surrounding him are monks and nuns, representing different religious orders united in their devotion. But beyond the spiritual symbolism lies another intriguing layer - a sumptuous feast. As fish sizzles on an open barbecue grill, people gather around to indulge in food and drink. This juxtaposition of faith and feasting invites contemplation on themes such as gluttony, greed, and our mortal desires. Hollar's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life; from the intricate textures of clothing to the expressions on each person's face. Through his masterful etching technique, he captures not only physical appearances but also emotions that resonate across time. Displayed proudly at The Met museum today, this print serves as a testament to Hollar's artistic legacy while offering viewers an opportunity for introspection into their own beliefs and values. It reminds us that even amid life's pleasures or struggles, faith remains
