About the piece
Painted around 1700 by Juan Correa, one of Mexico's most prominent Baroque artists, this work captures the emotional conversion of Saint Mary Magdalene. The composition cleverly juxtaposes her rejection of worldly vanity in a shadowed interior with a luminous distant view of her future life of contemplation in the wilderness.
