WASHINGTON, DC, United States — The Resurrection (1951), an apse mosaic by Philip Frohman, adorns the Chapel of the Resurrection in the crypt of Washington National Cathedral. Executed by Ravenna Mosaics using small colored glass tiles, the artwork is a striking example of 20th-century religious art in the Neo-Gothic Episcopal cathedral.

Designed in the Neo-Gothic style, construction began in 1906 and continued for decades. The cathedral is renowned for its architectural grandeur and spiritual significance, serving as a venue for many of Washington's important church services and national remembrance events. The Chapel of the Resurrection, located in the cathedral's crypt, features a remarkable apse mosaic titled "Resurrection," created in 1951 by Philip Frohman and executed by Ravenna Mosaics. This artwork, constructed of small colored glass tiles, exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship and religious symbolism found throughout the cathedral. As the second-largest church building in the United States and the fourth-tallest structure in Washington DC, the cathedral occupies a prominent position on a hill overlooking the city, making it a significant landmark in the nation's capital.
