I agree with you, we rarely find paintings based on the resurrection of Christ. Rogier van der Weyden is very creative, it was inspiring to read about this great artist.

Van der Wyden is one of my absolute favorites and I had the good fortune to have an art history teacher who really emphasized his importance.
