This 17th-18th century lantern, created by an anonymous artist, is a unique example of religious folk art. It features a depiction of Christ in the guise of a gardener, interacting with Mary Magdalene. The lantern's cylindrical shape, intricate paper construction, and delicate hand-painted details are characteristic of this period. This artwork offers a glimpse into the artistic practices and religious beliefs of the time, capturing the essence of faith and the transformative power of Christ's presence. The lantern's small size suggests it was likely intended for personal use, perhaps as a devotional aid or a symbol of hope.
Comments
print: I. Bosch, wood, handcoloured engraving, c. 1680-1720, The maker of this lantern took a print depicting Christ as a gardener and Mary Magdalene and pleated it many times, shaped it into a circle, and sewed it together with needle and thread. The print can be folded into a small, round wooden box. This box is created when the wooden top and bottom of the lantern are fastened with a tiny metal pin.
