Pietà — The Virgin, Christ, And Mary Magdalene—c. 1840
This Pietà scene—a moment suspended between the Descent from the Cross and the Entombment—brings together three figures.
On the right, the Virgin Mary, veiled in a white drape, supports the body of the dead Christ, whose head rests against her, his torso bare and his legs stretched out on the ground. On the left, kneeling, a female figure with her hair loose—presumably Mary Magdalene—wrings her hands in a gesture of grief as she leans toward Christ.
The technique combines pen and brown ink with a dark wash applied in broad strokes. Christ’s pale flesh stands out against a dark background, in a luminous tension reminiscent of the great Baroque painters—Guido Reni, Ribera, and the Bolognese school.
