FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG

The resurrected Christ rises triumphantly from an opened tomb. He wears a red cape and holds his right hand forth in blessing; three Roman guards recoil in shock at this miracle. Signs that The Resurrection is a modern imitation of a medieval painting include the summarily treated landscape and the hovering angel, who seems to be transplanted from a scene of Christ's Baptism (in which angels hold his garments).
