Painting of a bearded man with a spade and a kneeling woman in red at a tomb, with two angels in a dark rocky cave and a distant city.

The Risen Christ Appearing to Mary Magdalene

A bearded man in a white robe and wide-brimmed hat holds a spade while a kneeling woman in a red mantle reaches toward him at the steps of a rock-cut tomb. Two white-robed angels sit within the cave, and a distant city glows under a dramatic, shadowed sky.

Español: El Cristo resucitado apareciéndose a María Magdalena

Un hombre barbado con túnica blanca y sombrero de ala ancha sostiene una pala mientras una mujer arrodillada, con manto rojo, extiende la mano hacia él junto a los escalones de una tumba excavada en la roca. Dos ángeles de túnica blanca se sientan dentro de la cueva, y una ciudad lejana brilla bajo un cielo oscuro y dramático.

Português: O Cristo ressuscitado aparecendo a Maria Madalena

Um homem barbado, de túnica branca e chapéu de abas largas, segura uma pá enquanto uma mulher ajoelhada, com manto vermelho, estende a mão em direção a ele junto aos degraus de um túmulo escavado na rocha. Dois anjos de túnica branca sentam-se dentro da caverna, e uma cidade distante brilha sob um céu escuro e dramático.
