"Sleeping Tomb Guards with Mace and Sword" is a notable work by the German Renaissance painter Bernhard Strigel (1460–1528). Strigel, who was active during the late 15th and early 16th centuries, is renowned for his portraits and religious scenes, which often reflect the transition from the late Gothic to the Renaissance style in Southern Germany. This particular painting is significant for its depiction of a scene related to the Resurrection of Christ, a common subject in Christian art.

The artwork captures two guards, presumably Roman soldiers, in a state of slumber, oblivious to the miraculous event taking place nearby. They are depicted with their weapons—a mace and a sword—lying dormant beside them, symbolizing their impotence in the face of divine intervention. Strigel's use of color, composition, and attention to detail in the rendering of the guards' armor and the serene landscape background contribute to the painting's tranquil yet poignant atmosphere.

While the exact date of creation is not known, "Sleeping Tomb Guards with Mace and Sword" is typically dated to the early 16th century, a period when Strigel received numerous commissions for altarpieces and portraits from the Habsburgs and other prominent patrons. The painting is an example of Strigel's mastery in capturing human emotion and narrative through his work, and it reflects the broader cultural and religious themes prevalent in the Holy Roman Empire during his lifetime.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of Strigel's contribution to the Northern Renaissance. It is often studied in the context of Strigel's oeuvre and the development of religious iconography during the period. The current location of the painting, its provenance, and its critical reception over time would provide further insight into its historical and cultural significance.
