Christ Appears to Mary Magdalene 1511

Albrecht Dürer's "Christ Appears to Mary Magdalene" (1511) is a woodcut depicting the biblical scene of Christ's resurrection and his appearance to Mary Magdalene. The intricate detail, stark contrasts of light and shadow, and dynamic composition are characteristic of Dürer's masterful woodcut technique. The scene's emotional intensity is captured in the expressive figures and the light emanating from Christ, emphasizing the miracle of the resurrection. This print, now in the British Museum, is a prime example of Dürer's skill in translating religious narratives into compelling visual art.
