About Artwork: (Perhaps 1460-1550) "Three of Christ’s followers visited his tomb to anoint his body. When they arrived they found ‘a young man... clothed in a long white garment’ who told them that Jesus had risen from the dead (Mark 16: 1–8). In the Gospel of Matthew, the figure is described as the angel of the Lord; the painter of this panel has shown him as an angel with long blue wings. The angel reveals the empty tomb to Mary Magdalene, recognisable by her long flowing red hair, who is taken aback to see that only the burial shroud remains. The scene is set in a rugged landscape of stony ground and craggy rocks, a characteristic feature of Mantegna’s paintings. Another natural feature often found in paintings by Mantegna is the dead tree. A symbol of death, it is contrasted with the fresh young tree that frames the figure of Mary Magdalene. The living tree symbolises the eternal life that Christ offers through his own death and resurrection." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
