Graftombe van Maria Magdalena 1670 - 1724

"The Tomb of Mary Magdalene" is an etching by Jacob Gole from the 17th century. It depicts the tomb of Mary Magdalene in a lush, overgrown garden setting. The central figure of Magdalene is laying on a stone sarcophagus, while other figures are present in the scene. This piece, located in the Rijksmuseum, is a classic example of Dutch Baroque art, capturing a moment of contemplation and spiritual devotion through detailed imagery and meticulous engraving.
