About the piece
Dating from around 1700, this striking oil on canvas captures the emotional intensity of Saint Mary Magdalene. With her hands crossed over her heart and her gaze turned upward, the luminous treatment of her skin and flowing auburn hair creates a powerful contrast against the deep, dark background. This anonymous work exemplifies the dramatic lighting and spiritual focus of European devotional portraiture from the period.
