The Risen Christ, also known as Cristo della Minerva, is a renowned marble sculpture by the illustrious Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. Completed in 1521, this work is housed in the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome, Italy. The sculpture stands as a testament to Michelangelo's mastery of form and his deep engagement with religious themes, capturing the moment of Christ's resurrection with profound emotional and physical realism.

Michelangelo was commissioned to create The Risen Christ in 1514 by Metello Vari, a Roman patrician. The initial version of the sculpture was abandoned due to a flaw in the marble, leading Michelangelo to start anew in 1519. The final piece, completed in 1521, depicts a nude, muscular Christ holding the cross, symbolizing his triumph over death. The figure's contrapposto stance and detailed anatomy reflect Michelangelo's deep understanding of human physiology and his ability to convey spiritual intensity through physical form.

The Risen Christ is notable for its combination of classical beauty and Christian iconography. The nudity of Christ, which was later modestly covered with a bronze drapery, underscores the Renaissance humanist emphasis on the beauty of the human body as a reflection of divine perfection. The serene yet powerful expression on Christ's face invites contemplation and conveys a sense of divine grace and redemption.

This sculpture has been the subject of various scholarly interpretations, particularly concerning its theological implications and its place within Michelangelo's oeuvre. The Risen Christ stands as a significant work within the context of Renaissance art, illustrating the period's blend of classical antiquity and Christian spirituality. Michelangelo's ability to infuse marble with life and emotion ensures that The Risen Christ remains an enduring masterpiece, admired by art historians and the public alike.
