Christus verschijnt aan Maria Magdalena en de Emmaüsgangers 1700

This etching by Dutch artist Laurens Scherm, created in 1700, depicts two scenes from the Gospels. The upper scene portrays Christ's appearance to Mary Magdalene after his resurrection, while the lower scene depicts the Road to Emmaus. Scherm, known for his religious works, captures the emotional impact of these biblical stories in a dramatic and realistic style, demonstrating the visual narrative potential of printmaking. These scenes remain a key part of Christian iconography, signifying faith and resurrection. This work, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the visual traditions of early 18th-century Dutch art.
