This is the right panel of the socle of the altarpiece that Mantegna made for the San Zeno in Verona. Today Verona only has a replica; this original panel is in the French city of Tours. The left panel shows the Agony in the Garden. The painting shows a radiant Christ stepping out of his grave, surrounded by angels. In his left hand he holds the flag of the crusaders. The tomb is situated in a cave. The soldiers who kept guard seem to woken by the turmoil. Most gospels in the Bible do not tell this story but speak of the discovery of an empty grave. |
