The Resurrection

Albrecht Altdorfer, 1512

This is a drawing of a central figure surrounded by various angelic beings. The central figure is in a swirling cloud-like aura, appearing to rise, carrying a banner. Angelic figures surround the scene in the sky, while below, there are soldiers, knights, and religious figures. The background is dense and detailed, adding contrast between the celestial and earthly realms.
