Jesus and Mary Magdalene

author: Nina Bajrić Blažeković

technique: Oil on canvas

size: 100×120 cm

This deeply moving painting captures an intimate moment of redemption, forgiveness, and human vulnerability. Mary Magdalene is shown kneeling in a vibrant red robe, a color symbolizing both her earthly past and her fiery devotion, as she encounters the gentle, welcoming presence of Christ. Towering in the background is a monumental, solemn depiction of the Holy Shroud/Face of Christ, serving as a powerful foreshadowing of His sacrifice and creating a beautiful, multi-layered narrative on the nature of divine mercy.

This painting is part of the acclaimed Christological cycle from the “Holy Canvas” exhibition by academic painter Nina Bajrić Blažeković.
