Christians Can Experience The Moment of Resurrection with Realistic Bronze Sculpture

Artist Miles Tucker has created a bronze sculpture that captures the precise moment of Jesus’ resurrection within the tomb three days after his crucifixion. This master 3D work is biblically and historically accurate, with exquisite detailing, and is unique in depicting this specific moment.

Tucker, who is known for incorporating extraordinary realism and detail that only reveals itself upon multiple viewings, points to a few of the notable nuances in his Resurrection sculpture.

“[In the tomb] there was a shroud that covered Jesus’ body, which the archangel Michael is helping to remove. He has the sword of righteousness at his side. He has wrist cuffs that display a flaming sword. On his shin guards, there are two cherubs that helped to guard the Tree of Life [in the Garden of Eden]. His belt buckle is very reminiscent of the Flood,” says Tucker. On a more earthly level, the angel Gabriel holds Jesus’ shoe. Also, strips of linen are clearly visible on either side of Jesus’ burial platform.

As a believer, however, Tucker is clearly focused on the spiritually transcendent meaning of the resurrection. He depicts Christ at the sculpture’s center with his face turned upward to the heavens. “One of the first things Jesus would do when he came back to life would be to acknowledge the Lord. That is why his hand reaches upward and he is looking up to his Father,” says Tucker.

He adds, “This sculpture of Jesus defeating death and returning to life in the tomb shows us that we can have everlasting life. Jesus is inviting us to be part of that everlasting life. He is teaching us that, in his sacrifice which absolves us of our sins, there is joy in living and joy after life. It is beautiful. We really need to see him like this, triumphant.”
