Burnland, "Les Disciples"
"Happy Resurrection Day"
by Patti Johnson
"He is risen!" The Disciples Peter and John Running to the Sepulchre on the Morning of the Resurrection. This iconic work captures the dramatic moment when Peter and John, having heard Mary Magdalene’s astonishing news that Jesus’ tomb was empty, race toward it in a surge of hope and disbelief. I chose this painting because I was deeply moved by Burnand’s portrayal of the Apostles’ intense expressions. Their eyes are wide with urgent, hopeful questioning: “Could it truly be? Our Savior lives?” The raw emotion in their faces, combined with the dynamic sense of motion, makes this one of the most powerful depictions of Easter morning."
