Christ And Mary Magdalene 1890

Albert Edelfelt’s 1890 painting “Christ And Mary Magdalene” depicts a moment of encounter between Jesus and Mary Magdalene in a natural landscape setting. The figures are presented with realistic detail, and the light is depicted with a soft, naturalistic quality. The painting is a compelling representation of the biblical story, and it showcases Edelfelt’s mastery of depicting both emotional and physical detail in his work.
