Peter Paul Rubens’ The Resurrection of Christ is on view for the first time in eighty years. The work, which was recently authenticated and restored, is being exhibiting at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. Catherine the Great gave the painting to Russia’s Trinity Cathedral, where it remained until 1934. After that, the masterpiece spent decades languishing in storage at the Hermitage Museum.
