The Risen ChristMichelangelo

Michelangelo’s Risen Christ (1521) shows the resurrected Jesus embracing the cross, positioned near the altar of Santa Maria sopra Minerva. The idealized nude form demonstrates physical perfection and divine triumph. His calm gaze and classical contrapposto reflect Renaissance ideals, merging beauty with salvation.
