Resurrection of Christ is a 1475–1479 painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Bellini. Giovanni Bellini, born in the mid to late 1420s in Venice, Italy to Nicolo Bellini, was the half-brother of Jacopo Bellini. However, due to family circumstances and the early loss of his father, Giovanni was raised by Jacopo, who profoundly influenced his artistic development.[1]
It was produced for the Marino Zorzi chapel in the mortuary church of San Michele di Murano in Venice. It has previously been attributed to Cima da Conegliano, Previtali, Bartolomeo Veneto and Marco Basaiti. It was acquired by the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin in 1903 and a full restoration shortly afterwards confirmed its attribution to Bellini.[2][3] However, the trouble that the scriptual lacuna faced was that the Resurrection has developed into the Christian art theme, much later than the incarnation episodes which included Baptism and Nativity.[4]
