Resurrection

Piero della Francesca, 1450s


Piero della Francesca was among the earliest artists of the Renaissance, which revived the philosophical and artistic ideals of Greece and Rome. Artists produced human but lofty images of Jesus as vehicles for the profound concepts with which the church and the individual were wrestling -- and still wrestle.
