From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Christ Appearing to the Magdalene as a Gardner is a 1470 paint by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two figures in a garden. One has a halo and a beard, holding a tool like a gardener. The other, also with a halo, wears a long robe and holds a jar. The background has green plants and a yellow leafy border. The figures look like they’re talking, with the bearded one pointing toward something. The colors are simple—yellows, greens, and browns—added by hand. This is a metalcut print from the Renaissance, so look up Renaissance next.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
