Christ Appearing to Mary Magdalene is a 1485 ink by Martin Schongauer, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a woman kneeling in a landscape, looking up at a man who stands before her. The woman wears a long robe and a hood, and the man is draped in a cloak with a cross in his hand. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a walled garden, with a few trees scattered throughout. The engraving is done in fine detail, with intricate lines and textures that give the image depth and dimension. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of volume and shading, adding to the overall realism of the scene.
