Partial visible water mark „Namen Jesu", Meder no. 306. The „resurrection of Christ" is the last woodcut from Albrecht Dürer's series of the ,large passion'. The large passion is one one of the main works of Albrecht Dürer. In the foreground, the soldiers who are supposed to guard the tomb of Christ fell asleep. Christ appears above them in an aureole of clouds clothed only in a cloak, giving the cross-staff in the left hand and with the right the blessing. The head of Christ is surrounded by a nimbus and the whole upper edge of the picture is filled with angels.
