De extase van Maria Magdalena 1503

This 1503 engraving depicts a scene from the life of Mary Magdalene, known as the "Ecstasy of Mary Magdalene." An anonymous artist captured Mary in a state of religious rapture, surrounded by angels. The engraving, part of a larger series, showcases the detailed lines and intricate patterns typical of the Northern Renaissance. The small size of the work, 61 mm high and 42 mm wide, highlights the artist's ability to convey emotion and narrative within a limited space. This engraving, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the devotional art of the early 16th century.
