Last year I posted some old paintings of Jesus after his resurrection. A bit late for this Easter, I think I’ve found a new favourite via Bluesky:
“This initial from the 15th-century Chichele Breviary shows Christ rising from his tomb with the guards asleep around him. He appears triumphant, yet he still bears the wounds from his crucifixion. [MS 69 f. 118v]”
Also sprach the Lambeth Public Library Bluesky account. Christ not only appears triumphant, he also looks like he’s about to stand on the crotch of the dozy bastard on the ground. THAT would’ve been a rude awakening…
