"Christus aan het kruis, Maria Magdalena omhelst het kruis" (Christ on the cross, Mary Magdalene embraces the cross) is a 17th century etching by Louis de Deyster, a Flemish artist known for his religious subjects. The etching depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, with Mary Magdalene kneeling and embracing the cross. De Deyster's detailed etching style is evident in the intricate rendering of Christ's body, Mary Magdalene's flowing robes, and the rocky landscape surrounding the scene. The composition creates a powerful and moving image of the crucifixion, a central event in Christian faith.
