More Tintoretto: "Cristo risorgente"

Great triumphant piece featuring the Risen Christ. It is entitled "The Risen Christ", appropriately enough. My personal subtitle for it is "Time to blow this popsicle stand."


I originally got turned on to ol' Jacopo Tintoretto by faithful reader and commenter Kathleen and I posted some of his stuff last October. I love the action aspect of his work, these "shots" remind me of stills from a Schwarzenegger flick. I also like how Our Lord gives the peace sign to the bedazzled Roman soldier. It definitely lends itself to some comic book-style captions.


The Resurrection must have been some serious shock and awe.
