Mary Magdalene as a penitent, Bolognese school, 17th century

Descriptio 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, while 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 the 17th-century Baroque, centered on affective expression and spiritual reflection. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
