Annunciation and Resurrection
by GRÜNEWALD, Matthias, Oil on wood, 269 x 141 cm (each)
The picture shows the left and right wings of the second view of the Isenheim Altarpiece.
Gr�newald’s unsurpassed technique in painting coloured light is epitomized in the figure of the rising Christ; his dramatic use of writhing forms in movement is also seen here in the figures of Christ, the arriving angel, and the Madonna.
