Description:
The etching depicts a profound composition characteristic of Thoma. The resurrected Christ, holding a banner, hovers above a skeleton lying on the ground amidst a meadow. The fine line work in the background emphasizes a celestial aura, while the somber symbolism in the foreground creates a contemplative, almost melancholic mood. This is an excellent example of symbolism in the artist’s graphic work.
