The Resurrection by Piero della Francesca

A masterpiece of composition, Francesca’s widely admired painting depicts the risen Christ - wearing the expression of “a study steveadore”, as one art critic put it - while beneath him the guards slumber.

The last of this superb series focuses on Piero della Francesca’s The Resurrection, described by Kenneth Clark as ‘one of the supreme works of painting’ and by Aldous Huxley as ‘the greatest picture in the world’. (A child being taught in an art class is filmed asking innocently if Huxley had seen all the pictures in the world.) The figure of Christ stares out with mesmerising eyes while the guards sleep beneath, creating an extraordinary sense of quiet and stillness. Yet this masterpiece so fell out of favour in the 18th century that it was plastered over, and again was nearly destroyed in the Second World War before a British officer remembered Huxley’s quote and stopped the bombardment of Sansepolcro. In describing the technique, drama and significance of paintings in an informed and entertaining way, this Private Lives series cannot be bettered.
