About the piece
Painted circa 1625, this powerful work by Artemisia Gentileschi depicts Mary Magdalene in a state of religious ecstasy. The painting is a supreme example of Baroque chiaroscuro, utilizing a stark contrast between shadows and light to emphasize the luminosity of the figure's skin and the rich texture of her white chemise and purple robes.
