Christ rises victorious over a wreath adorned with his monogram, surrounded by doves plucking fruit as they gaze upwards in reverence. Below him, two soldiers lie defeated at the foot of the cross, a poignant symbol of Christ's triumphant Resurrection. Meanwhile, Christ stands before Pilate, who washes his hands clean of any involvement in Christ's impending fate, marking the final moments of their encounter. Above the arches, winged genii and masks dance across the spandrels, adding an air of whimsy to the otherwise somber scene.
