Christ as the Gardener by Abraham Janssens

Christ as the Gardener by Abraham Janssens

According to the Gospel of John, the resurrected Christ is first seen by the disciple Mary Magdalene, who mistakes him for the gardener. After Mary recognizes Christ, she cries out in joy and reaches out for him.

  1. I'm learning stuff! I'm no good at religion so I've learned one thing and I didn't know the painter so that makes two. :-)

  2. I look forward to learning something new everyday. This artist is great. This painting is in a museum in France but I don't remember which one. The Scene is highly important because Christ chose a female disciple to be the first person to see him alive after his crucifixion!
