Alla auktioner / Diverse / Italian school (XVII) - Santa Maria Maddalena Penitente
Ancient painting, oil on canvas, depicting Saint Mary Magdalene the Penitent, attributable to the Italian School of the 17th century (Seicento). The work fully participates in the rich Baroque iconographic tradition devoted to the Saint, portrayed in her hermitic retreat and profound mystical devotion. Iconography and Style: The figure is captured with a gaze intensely directed toward the sky and eyes moist, symbolizing repentance and spiritual ecstasy. The long loose hair partially covers the shoulders, renouncing earthly vanity. In the foreground, in the lower part, the two main iconographic attributes of the Saint are clearly distinguished: The skull, a powerful symbol of vanitas and meditation on the transience of life. The vessel of unguents (pisside) on the right, a recall to the Gospel episode. The painting is distinguished by a marked use of chiaroscuro and a strong light-dark contrast in a Caravaggesque pattern, which makes the figure emerge from the darkness of the background. Dimensions of the canvas:Set height: 72 cm; width: 64 cm
