About the Artwork

This portrait depicts Jesus Christ at the very moment of his resurrection, radiating joy and peace. Glenn Beck painted it while working on his rendition of the Shroud of Turin, capturing the contrast between Jesus in the tomb and his triumphant return to life. The painting invites viewers to feel the Savior’s joy and peace and reflects on the miracle of resurrection.

Story & Inspiration

As Glenn worked on the shroud painting, he wondered what Jesus’ face looked like at the exact instant of His resurrection. In his words:

“What did Jesus’ face look like at the very moment of His resurrection? What if we had a shroud capturing the very moment when Jesus arose from death to life?”

The original shroud painting portrays the tired countenance of Christ after enduring the cross. In this companion piece, Jesus’ expression is joyful and determined, with compassionate eyes that beckon viewers to accept the joy and peace He offers.
