Description
English: The Resurrection of Christ also known as Descent into Hades or Harrowing of Hell is a late 16th century, icon measuring 42.5x48.5cm. Completed by Markos Bathas (1498-1578).

The Harrowing of Hell (Ἡ εἰς ᾍδου κάθοδος τοῦ Χριστοῦ – "the descent of Christ into Hell" or Hades) is a popular name given to this style of painting or icon but the actual title on the painting in Greek is the Resurrection of Christ (Η Τον Χριστού Ανάστασιν). The theme is part of the sequence of the Resurrection of Christ. Some resurrection themes in painting include: Entombment of Christ, Harrowing of Hell, Resurrection, Earthquake and Resurrection.

This painting follows the iconographic model or the Greek Style known in Italian as the maniera greca.

The Museum's catalog number is 6. Here Christ is not surrounded by glory and there are no angels with the symbols of the Passion. Adam kneels on the sarcophagus lid, which is placed diagonally. John the Baptist points to Christ with a theatrical gesture and Hell breathes fire from his mouth. The writing on the painting is The Resurrection of Christ (Η Τον Χριστού Ανάστασιν).


Ελληνικά: Η Τον Χριστού Ανάστασιν Η Εις Άδου Κάθοδος τέλη 16ου αιώνα, 42,5x48,5εκ. Μάρκος Μπαθάς (1498-1578) Η εικόνα αυτή ακολουθεί το εικονογραφικό πρότυπο της εικόνας αρ. 6 του Μουσείου. Εδώ ο Χριστός δεν περιβάλλεται από δόξα και δεν υπάρχουν οι άγγελοι με τα σύμβολα του Πάθους. Ο Αδάμ γονατίζει επάνω στο σκέπασμα της σαρκοφάγου, που είναι τοποθετημένο διαγώνια, ο Ιωάννης ο Πρόδρομος δείχνει τον Χριστό με μία θεατρική κίνηση και ο αλυσσοδεμένος Άδης βγάζει φωτιές από το στόμα του.
