The Resurrection of Christ (1499–1502), also called The Kinnaird Resurrection (after a family who formerly owned the painting, the Lords Kinnaird), is an oil painting on wood by the ItalianHigh Renaissance master Raphael. The work is one of the earliest known paintings by the artist, executed between 1499 and 1502. It is probably a piece of an unknown predella, though it has been suggested that the painting could be one of the remaining works of the Baronci Altarpiece, Raphael's first recorded commission (seriously damaged by an earthquake in 1789, fragments of which are today found in museums across Europe).[1] The painting is now in the São Paulo Museum of Art.
The Kinnaird Resurrection is one of the first preserved works of Raphael in which his natural dramatic style of composition was already obvious, as opposed to the gentle poetic style of his master, Pietro Perugino. The extremely rational composition is ruled by a complex ideal geometry which interlinks all the elements of the scene and gives it a strange animated rhythm, transforming the characters in the painting into co-protagonists in a unique "choreography". The painting possesses an esthetic influence from Pinturicchio and Melozzo da Forlì, though the spatial orchestration of the work, with its tendency to movement, shows Raphael's knowledge of the Florentine artistic milieu of the 16th century.[2]
The painting was first identified by Wilhelm Bode in 1880 at Rossie Priory the home of Arthur Kinnaird, 10th Lord Kinnaird. It was sold by the 12th Lord Kinnaird in 1946 at Christie's for a mere 600 guineas.[3]
この作品は1954年にサンパウロ美術館に収蔵されました。同美術館の元館長ピエトロ・マリア・バルディは、ローマのスタジオ・ダルテ・パルマで同僚だったマリオ・モデスティーニの推薦を受け、構図のための2つの習作の存在を根拠に、キネアードの復活をラファエロの作品群に加える責任を負い、その作者をめぐる激しい議論が始まりました。今日では、ラファエロの作品であるという見解は専門家の間でほぼ満場一致で受け入れられています。[ 2 ] [ 4 ]これは現在南半球にあるラファエロの唯一の作品です。[ 5 ] [ 6 ]
