A Pre-Raphaelite painter, Sir Jones' depiction of the encounter between Mary Magdalene and the Risen Christ is both beautiful and transcendent. He seems even to capture a Giotto-esque feel to each character with their formless drapery for clothes this giving each an otherworldly feel to the painting. But unlike Giotto, Jones' raealism in the faces of the angels, Mary and Jesus, gives as well a very human, tender closeness to this encounter between the divine and human. Mary weeps in her search for her Lord and responds only to Jesus who utters her name.
