This 18th-century etching by Carlo Gregori, titled "Christus verschijnt aan Maria Magdalena", depicts the biblical scene of Jesus's resurrection appearance to Mary Magdalene. Gregori, known for his Baroque style, portrays the moment with dramatic flair. Jesus stands before a kneeling Magdalene, his gesture of blessing contrasted with her emotional response. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of landscape and two angelic figures, adding depth and complexity to the composition. This piece, housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Gregori's talent for capturing both the spiritual and the human aspects of Christian narratives.
