Unknownabout 1410

Christ emerges from his tomb with the help of an angel as the Roman soldiers sleep below. The wounds in Christ's hands and feet stand out against the paleness of his skin and his white garment. God looks on from above, indicating Christ's eventual Ascension into heaven.
This image of the Resurrection introduces the mass for Easter Sunday in this manuscript.
