The Empty Tomb — Mary

Oil on canvas
36 × 48 in (91.4 × 121.9 cm)

The Empty Tomb portrays the encounter between Christ and Mary Magdalene. Turner consulted scholarly sources on the size and construction of first-century Jewish tombs so that the setting is right in scale as well as detail. The moment is one of recognition and revelation, and Turner paints the event as historical, not symbolic.
