The Moment of Resurrection, Expressed in Bronze

Miles Tucker’s latest bronze sculpture, a biblically correct 3D depiction of the moment of Jesus’ resurrection within the tomb will awaken and deepen faith

Artist Miles Tucker’s latest bronze sculpture, titled the Resurrection, is designed to inspire and fortify faith by depicting the precise moment of Jesus’ resurrection within the tomb three days after his crucifixion. The master work is biblically and historically accurate, with exquisite detailing, and is unique in depicting this specific moment, which is so important in the Christian Faith.

The sculpture uses the ancient lost wax casting process, which captures exceptionally fine details in metals. To ensure the finest details transferred to the final product, the foundry where he does his work had to increase the temperatures at casting well beyond standard levels.

Here are a few of the notable nuances in his Resurrection sculpture.

In the tomb there is 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.

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.

Miles Tucker is a nationally recognized artist who has created sculptures for the Grand Floridian Hotel in Disney World, as well as commissioned work for churches and celebrities.
