"Apparition of Christ" is a religious painting by the Netherlandish artist Jan Joest (c. 1450-1519). The painting depicts the moment when Christ appears before three disciples in a heavenly light. Joest masterfully conveys the awe and wonder of the event, capturing the disciples' expressions of disbelief and reverence. The use of light and shadow, and the detailed landscape in the background further enhances the painting's impact. This work reflects a common theme in early Netherlandish art – depicting biblical stories with realistic detail and emotional depth. The painting's composition and style showcase the influence of the late Gothic period, a period known for its dramatic use of light and color.
