"Cristo Risorto" (English: "The Risen Christ") is a notable work by the Italian Baroque artist Mattia Preti (1613–1699). Created during the 17th century, this painting exemplifies Preti's dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey intense emotion and spirituality, which are characteristic of the Baroque period. The artwork depicts the moment of Christ's resurrection, capturing the triumphant and divine nature of the event as described in Christian theology.

Mattia Preti, also known as Il Cavalier Calabrese (The Knight of Calabria), was an artist who trained under Caravaggio's followers and developed a style that combined the naturalism and tenebrism of his mentor with his own unique approach to composition and color. "Cristo Risorto" is a testament to Preti's mastery of religious subjects and his skill in rendering the human form with a sense of vitality and movement.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its religious and cultural impact during a time when art served as a vehicle for spiritual expression and doctrinal reinforcement. "Cristo Risorto" would have been used as a devotional piece, intended to inspire and educate the faithful about the central mystery of the Christian faith—the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

While the exact date of creation, original commission, and provenance of "Cristo Risorto" may not be thoroughly documented, the work remains an important example of Preti's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Baroque art and its role in the Counter-Reformation. The painting is also a reflection of Preti's artistic journey, showcasing the evolution of his style and his contribution to the spread of Baroque aesthetics beyond the borders of Italy.

Today, "Cristo Risorto" is appreciated not only for its religious significance but also for its artistic value, offering insight into the techniques and themes that dominated European art during the 17th century. It stands as a testament to Preti's enduring legacy as one of the period's most influential and accomplished painters.
