Happy Easter!
Every Easter I post a work of religious art for the occasion. Usually it's a painting, but this year it's a sculpture. I give you one of my favorite underappreciated works of the great Michelangelo: his beautiful, triumphant Risen Christ (1519-21) in marble, now in the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome. By the way, Michelangelo's work is a heroic nude; the bit of drapery was added later in the Baroque period.
Oh, it's Easter. Here's something fun from a previous celebration.
