Kristus viser sig for Marie Magdalena 1891 - 1899

"Kristus viser sig for Marie Magdalena" (Christ Appears to Mary Magdalene) is a black and white etching by Danish artist Henrik Bornemann, created between 1891 and 1899. The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, depicts a poignant biblical scene. The image shows a kneeling Mary Magdalene, clad in simple clothing, looking up with awe and adoration at the resurrected Christ, who stands before her. Bornemann masterfully uses light and shadow to create a sense of dramatic tension, enhancing the emotional weight of the encounter. The etching's subtle details, from the gentle folds of Christ's robe to the serene landscape behind them, add depth and richness to the composition.
