This 1651 engraving by Hans Andreas Greys, a title page for a funeral sermon for Ida Lang, showcases a symbolic depiction of Christ as a gardener. The scene portrays Mary Magdalene at the tomb of Jesus, with Christ appearing in the background, holding a spade and surrounded by a garden. The numerous coats of arms surrounding the central scene likely represent members of Lang's family. The title page, a significant piece of 17th-century Danish art, is held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. This detailed artwork is an example of Baroque engraving style and highlights the use of symbolism in religious art during this period.
