The Resurrection, central panel from the Triptych of the Resurrection

"The Resurrection," the central panel from Hans Memling's triptych, exemplifies religious painting from the Northern renaissance. Executed around 1479 in Bruges, it features masterful oil techniques characteristic of Memling's refined style. The painting vividly depicts Christ emerging from the tomb, symbolizing the pivotal moment of resurrection. This triptych served as an altarpiece for the Old St. John's Hospital, where it still resides today. Its detailed execution and religious significance reflect the important themes and artistic innovation of Northern renaissance art.
