More Easter Art




Christ and St. Mary Magdalene at the Tomb
Rembrandt

I love this painting for many reasons.  I appreciate the detail, I like the way the cave seems to be in a hillside as in life, but my favorite thing about this painting is that Rembrandt dressed Jesus AS a gardener, as if Jesus was dressing up.  The hat and the spade are amusing additions.
