The Resurrection of Christ by Titian, together with the Last Supper by the same author, originally constituted a processional banner commissioned from Titian by the Confraternity of Corpus Domini of Urbino. The work was carried out in Venice between 1542 and 1544, arriving in Urbino in June of the same year. In 1545 the two sides of the banner were separated by the painter Pietro Viti, to be displayed on the sides of the main altar of the Confraternity church. Pietro himself also paints a frieze with scrolls and floral motifs on a gold background on the edges of the two canvases. The image is divided into two parts. In the lower area there is a great deal of restlessness in the scene of the soldiers and the sarcophagus, made with oblique and broken lines that give movement and drama to the whole. On the contrary, in the upper part, everything is calm and serene and the blessing Christ hovers over the sky at dawn, with statuary and Apollonian features. Titian had made many paintings for the Della Rovere family, including the famous Venus of Urbino. Following the marriage of the last descendant of the family, Vittoria, with Ferdinando II de 'Medici, these masterpieces passed into the Florentine collections of the Medici. The banner is therefore the only work by Titian left in Urbino.
