The work features dramatic lighting and two kneeling angels in a dark cavernous setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eCarl Bloch was a Danish painter who gained significant recognition for his series of twenty-three paintings for the King's Oratory at Frederiksborg Palace. This work, completed in 1881, depicts the moment of the Resurrection with a focus on clarity and emotional directness. Bloch was a contemporary of Hans Christian Andersen and was influenced by the works of Rembrandt, particularly in his use of light and shadow.\n\nThe composition centres on the figure of Christ emerging from the stone sepulchre. He is draped in white robes, his arms raised toward the heavens. His expression is calm and resolute. Two angels kneel in the foreground, their wings and garments rendered in similar pale tones that contrast against the dark, rocky interior of the tomb. The presence of white lilies near the feet of Christ symbolises purity and new life, a common motif in Christian iconography.\n\nBloch used a technique involving oil on copper for the Frederiksborg series, which allowed for a smooth surface and precise detail. The lighting is theatrical, with a glow emanating from behind the head of Christ, casting the rest of the cave into deep shadow. This use of chiaroscuro directs the eye immediately to the central figure. The fallen stone of the tomb and the discarded helmet of a guard in the lower left corner provide narrative context for the event. This painting remains one of the most recognisable depictions of the Resurrection in Western art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-last-of-england-ford-madox-brown\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Last of England - Ford Madox Brown — Ford Madox Brown\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Carl Bloch","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843865387343,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843865715023,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843865747791,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843865780559,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843865813327,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Resurrection-of-Christ_Poster_CompositorV1_1780443964525.jpg?v=1780448950"},{"product_id":"jesus-tempted-carl-bloch","title":"Jesus Tempted - Carl Bloch","description":"\u003cp\u003eA nineteenth-century religious painting by Danish artist Carl Bloch depicting the temptation of Christ in the wilderness.

This painting depicts the biblical narrative of the temptation of Christ in the wilderness. Bloch was commissioned to produce twenty-three paintings for the King's Oratory at Frederiksborg Palace in Denmark between 1865 and 1879. These works became some of the most widely reproduced images of the life of Christ in the Western world.\n\nThe composition focuses on the physical and spiritual contrast between Jesus and the tempter. Christ stands in the upper right portion of the frame, bathed in a soft, ethereal light that suggests his divine nature. He wears a white tunic and a deep red cloak, extending his hand in a gesture of dismissal. His expression is calm and resolute, looking down towards the figure below.\n\nIn the foreground, the tempter is shown cowering on the ground. He is partially obscured by a dark red cloth, his face turned away from the light. The use of shadow and the low physical position of the figure create a clear hierarchy within the scene. The background consists of a sparse, mountainous terrain under a pale sky, which emphasises the isolation of the setting.

This work is part of a series of twenty-three paintings depicting the life of Christ, commissioned for the King’s Oratory at Frederiksborg Palace in Denmark. The project was funded by the philanthropist J.C. Jacobsen, the founder of the Carlsberg brewery, who sought to restore the palace after a fire in 1859. Bloch spent over a decade completing this cycle, which remains a definitive example of late Danish Golden Age art.\n\nThe composition centres on the figure of Jesus as he clears the Temple of Jerusalem. He is depicted in red and blue garments, holding a scourge of small cords. His posture is active and commanding, contrasting with the chaotic movement of the merchants and money changers. To the left, a man clutches a cage of birds, while another scrambles on the floor to retrieve scattered coins. The use of light directs the eye toward the central figure, while the architectural elements of the temple provide a sense of scale.\n\nBloch’s technique is characterised by a high degree of finish and anatomical precision. He avoids the loose brushwork of his contemporaries in favour of a clear, representational style. In the foreground, the artist includes specific details such as the overturned tables and the physical tension in the arms of the fleeing men. The heavy stone columns of the temple frame the action, creating a stage-like environment. The emotional range of the figures, from the stern resolve of Christ to the startled expressions of the traders, demonstrates his skill in narrative painting. This specific scene captures the tension between sacred space and commercial greed, rendered with the technical clarity typical of Bloch’s mature period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-madhouse-william-hogarth\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Madhouse - William Hogarth — William Hogarth\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Carl Bloch","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843875217743,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57850253246799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57850253279567,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Christ-Driving-the-Money-Changers-from-the-Temple_Poster_CompositorV1_1780444684820.jpg?v=1780533738"},{"product_id":"gethsemane-carl-bloch","title":"Gethsemane - Carl Bloch","description":"\u003cp\u003eA nineteenth-century religious painting by Carl Bloch depicting Christ being comforted by an angel in the Garden of Gethsemane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eCarl Bloch painted this scene in 1873 as part of a major commission for the King's Oratory at Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark. The series consists of twenty-three paintings depicting the life of Christ. This specific work illustrates the Agony in the Garden, a moment of intense prayer and sorrow before the arrest of Jesus. The original was executed in oil on copper, a choice that allowed for a smooth surface and fine detail.\n\nThe composition focuses on the physical and emotional weight of the event. Christ is depicted in a deep red tunic, kneeling on rocky ground. His posture is slumped, suggesting exhaustion and grief. Beside him, an angel dressed in white provides comfort, resting a hand on his arm and leaning close. The contrast between the bright white of the angel and the dark, shadowed background creates a strong visual focus on the two figures. This use of light and shadow is a hallmark of Bloch's style, drawing the eye to the central narrative.\n\nBloch used a gnarled tree trunk to frame the right side of the scene. The bark is rendered with precise detail, showing the texture of the wood under a soft light source. The background is almost entirely black, which removes any distractions from the central interaction. This technique follows the traditions of European academic realism, where clarity and emotional directness are prioritised. The artist avoids unnecessary ornamentation, focusing instead on the human elements of the biblical account.\n\nThe artist was known for his ability to depict human emotion through physical gestures. In this painting, the interlocking hands and the gentle tilt of the angel's head convey a sense of quiet support. The use of light is deliberate, falling across the figures to define their forms against the nocturnal setting. This work remains a significant example of nineteenth-century Danish religious art and is frequently cited for its technical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/flowers-odilon-redon\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFlowers - Odilon Redon — Odilon Redon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Carl Bloch","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843881541967,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843882918223,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843882950991,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843882983759,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843883016527,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Gethsemane_Poster_CompositorV1_1780444924940.jpg?v=1780450586"},{"product_id":"transfiguration-of-jesus-carl-bloch","title":"Transfiguration of Jesus - Carl Bloch","description":"\u003cp\u003eA nineteenth-century oil painting by Danish artist Carl Bloch depicting the Transfiguration of Jesus.

This work belongs to a series of twenty-three paintings depicting the life of Christ. These were commissioned for the King's Oratory at Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark. Bloch spent over a decade completing this cycle. It is one of the most reproduced sets of Christian imagery. The artist travelled to Italy to study the works of the Old Masters before beginning this project.\n\nThe composition depicts the biblical account of the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor. Jesus is positioned at the top of the frame. He is bathed in a bright white light that dissolves the physical boundaries of the clouds. He is flanked by the figures of Moses and Elijah. They appear in a similar ethereal state. The upper portion of the canvas uses a pale palette to suggest a divine presence. The light source is internal to the figure of Christ, radiating outwards to illuminate the surrounding atmosphere.\n\nIn contrast, the lower section of the painting features the apostles Peter, James, and John. They are rendered in saturated colours, including deep blues, ochre yellows, and reds. Their physical reactions are immediate. One figure shields his eyes from the brilliance above. Another kneels in a posture of awe. Bloch uses a sharp diagonal line created by the rocky terrain to separate the earthly realm from the celestial event. The foreground contains detailed depictions of rocks and sparse vegetation, providing a grounded base for the supernatural scene.\n\nBloch was trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Art. He was influenced by the works of Rembrandt and the Italian Renaissance masters. His technique emphasises clear forms and a controlled use of light. Unlike the softer edges found in contemporary Impressionist works, Bloch maintained a strict adherence to anatomical accuracy and traditional perspective. This clarity made his work suitable for large-scale ecclesiastical settings.

This work, titled The Resurrection, depicts the moment Jesus emerges from the tomb. He stands with his arms raised toward the heavens, draped in white robes that catch the light against the dark, rocky interior of the sepulchre. A golden halo surrounds his head, providing the primary light source for the composition.\n\nTwo angels kneel in prayer on either side of the stone slab. They are dressed in similar white garments, their wings folded behind them. In the foreground, white lilies bloom near the cracked stone of the tomb, symbolising purity and new life. The lower left corner contains a discarded helmet, suggesting the presence of the Roman guards who fled the scene. The composition is balanced and symmetrical, focusing the viewer's attention on the central figure.\n\nBloch used a technique that combined classical composition with a direct, human approach to his subjects. The figures possess a physical weight and presence common in late nineteenth-century academic art. His use of chiaroscuro creates a sharp contrast between the shadowed cave and the luminous figures, directing the viewer's eye to the central figure of Christ. This painting was part of a larger commission for the King's Oratory at Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark. Between 1865 and 1879, Bloch produced twenty-three scenes from the New Testament for this site.\n\nThe artist often painted on copper plates, which allowed for a smooth surface and a high degree of detail in the brushwork. This choice of medium contributed to the clarity of the figures and the subtle gradations of light in the drapery. Bloch's work is a significant example of Danish Golden Age influence extending into the late nineteenth century. His depictions of biblical events are noted for their emotional clarity and technical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/samarkande-plate-6-compositions-in-the-oriental-style-emile-allain-seguy\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSamarkande (Plate 6, Compositions in the Oriental Style) - Émile-Allain Séguy — Émile-Allain Séguy\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Carl Bloch","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843889537359,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843892879695,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843892912463,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Resurrection_Poster_CompositorV1_1780445164726.jpg?v=1780450931"},{"product_id":"transfiguration-of-jesus-carl-bloch-1","title":"Transfiguration of Jesus - Carl Bloch","description":"\u003cp\u003eA masterful depiction of the biblical Transfiguration by Danish painter Carl Bloch, focusing on the contrast between human awe and divine radiance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eCarl Bloch, a Danish painter of the nineteenth century, produced this work as part of a series of twenty-three paintings commissioned for the King's Oratory at Frederiksborg Castle. The composition depicts the biblical event of the Transfiguration, where Jesus is revealed in his divine glory upon a mountain, accompanied by the figures of Moses and Elijah. \n\nBloch employs a dramatic use of light to separate the earthly realm from the celestial. The three disciples in the foreground are positioned with their backs to the viewer, their postures conveying a sense of awe and physical reaction to the blinding radiance emanating from the centre. The artist uses a palette of cool blues and earthy tones for the rocky foreground, which contrasts with the ethereal, luminous whites and pale yellows surrounding the central figure. \n\nTechnically, the painting demonstrates the precision characteristic of the Danish Golden Age and the European Academic tradition. Bloch focuses on the anatomical accuracy of the figures and the textures of the drapery, ensuring that the human elements remain grounded while the divine manifestation appears weightless. The rocky terrain and sparse vegetation provide a sense of place, yet the focus remains entirely on the interaction between the human witnesses and the supernatural occurrence. This work is part of a larger collection that remains housed at the Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle, representing a period when religious narrative painting was a primary focus for European artists working under royal patronage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/hylas-and-the-nymphs-karl-bryullov\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHylas and the Nymphs - Karl Bryullov — Karl Bryullov\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/seated-jewish-woman-from-gaza-with-her-child-and-two-large-pitchers-paul-delaroche\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSeated Jewish Woman from Gaza, with her Child and Two Large Pitchers - Paul Delaroche — Paul Delaroche\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Carl Bloch","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57851362410831,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57851383447887,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57851383480655,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57851383513423,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57851383546191,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Transfiguration-of-Jesus_Poster_CompositorV1_1780550043987.jpg?v=1780550174"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/collections\/carl-bloch.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
