The Resurrection of Christ (right wing of the Isenheim Altarpiece)

The right wing of the Isenheim Altarpiece depicts the Resurrection of Christ, capturing the moment of Christ’s triumphant return to life. Painted by Matthias Grünewald between 1512 and 1516, this panel showcases his masterful use of oil on wood in the distinctive Northern renaissance style. The vivid, emotionally intense imagery reflects the era’s focus on religious themes, blending naturalism with spiritual symbolism typical of religious painting. As part of the larger altarpiece, this panel exemplifies Grünewald's innovative approach to conveying divine triumph.
