"The Resurrection: Design for a Frescoed Altarpiece and Altar Flanked with a Kneeling Monastic Female Saint and a Kneeling Donatrix" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Maso da San Friano (1536–1571). This piece is a preparatory design, or sinopia, for a frescoed altarpiece that was intended to adorn a religious setting, likely a church or chapel, during the 16th century. The artwork is significant for its detailed depiction of the central Christian theme of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is a common subject in Christian art, symbolizing the triumph of Christ over death and his promise of eternal life to believers.

Maso da San Friano, whose real name was Tommaso Manzuoli, was an accomplished artist of the Florentine school, known for his precise and graceful style that combined elements of the late Mannerist period with a return to more classical forms. His works are characterized by their clarity, harmonious color palette, and the serene expressions of his figures.

In this design, the central figure of the resurrected Christ is likely to be depicted rising from the tomb, with the traditional iconography of the triumphant Savior often accompanied by angels, soldiers, and other biblical figures. The presence of a kneeling monastic female saint and a kneeling donatrix (a female patron or donor) suggests that the work was commissioned by a religious sisterhood or a devout female patron, who wished to be immortalized in prayerful reverence within the sacred narrative.

The inclusion of the donatrix in the composition reflects the common practice during the Renaissance of patrons commissioning artworks for both devotional purposes and as a means of displaying their piety and status. The monastic female saint could be a specific saint associated with the patron or the religious institution for which the altarpiece was intended.

While the actual fresco may or may not have been realized, this design provides valuable insight into the artistic process of the period, as well as the devotional and social contexts of art patronage during the Renaissance. It is a testament to the enduring power of religious art to convey complex theological ideas and personal devotion through visual means.
