Rabboni (sculpture)

Rabboni is a public artwork by American artist Gutzon Borglum, located Rock Creek Cemetery in Washington, D.C., United States.

It is a tribute to Charles Matthews Ffoulke, prominent Washington banker and tapestry collector.

[1][2] This Realist sculpture depicts Mary Magdalene[3] emerging from an alcove consisting of three granite blocks that surround her.

Her proper right leg is stepping forward, to recognize Jesus Christ has risen from his tomb on Easter.

Upon seeing the resurrected Christ, Magdalene calls him "Rabbouni," per this Bible passage:[3] John 20:16 Actress Edith Wynne Matthison was the model for the statue.
