"Christ Appearing to Mary" is a tempera painting by Italian artist Duccio, created in 1311. The painting depicts the moment when Christ appears to his mother, Mary, after his resurrection. The scene is set against a backdrop of rocky mountains and trees, with Mary kneeling in the foreground and Christ standing before her. Duccio's use of vibrant colors and detailed figures is characteristic of the Sienese School of painting. The painting highlights the emotional impact of the moment, with Mary's gesture of supplication and Christ's serene expression.
