Johannes de Evangelist en de Maria's bij het graf van Christus 1759

This etching, created in 1759 by Carlo Gregori, depicts the biblical scene of John the Evangelist and the women at the tomb of Christ. The artwork, a testament to Gregori’s work before his untimely death in the same year, showcases the emotional intensity of the moment as Mary Magdalene mourns over Christ’s empty tomb. The composition, marked by the stark contrast of light and shadow, emphasizes the sorrow of the women while John, a figure of solace, stands in the background. This work exemplifies Gregori’s skill in conveying emotional depth through the medium of etching, making it a compelling piece of religious art.
