"Christ and Mary Magdalene" is a notable work of art by the renowned Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau. Painted around 1864, it beautifully brings together Moreau's technical precision, his quest for spiritualism, and love for mystery. The painting depicts the biblical scene of the encounter between Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene after the Christ resurrection.

The painting brings out various attributes typical of Moreau’s work, emphasizing the use of symbol and suggestion rather than realistic depiction. Christ is portrayed with a glowing halo, a classic representation signifying divinity and holiness. His eyes look towards the heavens, perhaps in tranquility or inner contemplation, a testament to his spiritual role. Mary Magdalene, on the other hand, is seen in a moment of astonishment and disbelief combined with deep sadness, embodying the human response to the divine mystery. Her rich attire echoes the opulence and complexity of Moreau's style.

The composition of this work accentuates the profound spiritual and emotional interaction between the two figures. The backdrop of the painting, largely fashioned out of deep, muted shades, suggests a sense of the ethereal and the other-worldly, underlining the spiritual import of the episode.

The palpable sense of mystique and heightened emotionality in "Christ and Mary Magdalene" makes it an exemplary painting of the Symbolist movement. It can be seen as a powerful statement by Gustave Moreau on the mystical, the divine, and human responses to these domains of experience.

Like many of Moreau's works, "Christ and Mary Magdalene" has been subjected to various art-critical discourses. It is housed in a private collection but reproductions are available in print and digital formats. As of the time of writing, current scholarly discussion continues on the painting's symbolic and stylistic implications. The work holds a valuable position in the study of 19th-century European art, particularly French Symbolism.
