"Magdalene med salvekrukken" (Mary Magdalene with the Ointment Jar) is a painting by Danish artist J.L. Lund, created between 1816 and 1827. The artwork depicts Mary Magdalene, a prominent figure in Christian tradition, holding a jar of ointment, a symbol of her devotion to Jesus Christ. The painting, which is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, is a classic example of Lund's meticulous style and his use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and emotion. The painting is notable for its intimate portrayal of Mary Magdalene, and its focus on the spiritual aspect of her character.
