The Risen Christ
Bernardo Strozzi captures the dramatic moment of resurrection with swirling clouds and a burst of golden light. Christ floats upward, one hand reaching out in blessing while the other grips a banner topped with a cross, signaling his victory over death. Below him, a cluster of cherubs gazes up in awe, anchoring the scene. Strozzi, a former Capuchin monk who earned the nickname 'The Capuchin' before leaving the clergy to paint, brings a theatrical, almost operatic energy to this religious scene, typical of the Baroque style's love for emotion and movement.
