Description
Mary Magdalene as a penitent, Bolognese school, 17th century Oil on canvas. Dimensions 87 x 72 cm. A depiction of Mary Magdalene in a meditative pose, embracing a crucifix and accompanied by an open book, a skull and a jar of ointments—elements alluding to penance, vanitas and contemplation. Her bowed face and moist eyes convey a sense of inner sorrow and introspection, whilst the light glides over her flesh and drapery with a powerful emotional effect. The composition, with its dark background and intimate feel, reflects the devotional style of 17th-century Baroque, centred on emotional expression and spiritual reflection.
