61F Risen Christ

The drawing shows a study of a male figure. In the past it was considered an initial concept for the Christ of the Sistina’s Giudizio Universale, was subsequently merged with a group of drawings, realised between 1532 and 1533, which have as their object the Christ’s Resurrection. In the drawing stands out the figure’s dunamic tension, caught at the exact moment in which he lifts her head with the arms spread apart and the right leg bent backwards. On the verso of the sheet occurs a variation of the same figure reversed.
