"penitent Mary Magdalene," Oil On Copper, Italy, 17th Century
Oil on copper from the Italian school depicting Mary Magdalene as a penitent, clinging to the cross in a pose of contemplation and devotional fervor, while three small winged cherubs accompany the scene, accentuating its mystical and contemplative atmosphere. The composition, with its remarkable dynamism and vibrant color palette, echoes the Baroque style of Luca Giordano, evoking formal and expressive elements found in The Prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, a late 17th-century work held in the collection of the Fundación Casa Ducal de Medinaceli. Both in the movement of the figures and in its richness of tone and light, the work reveals a clear affinity with the Neapolitan master’s aesthetic.
