About the piece

Painted around 1640 by the Italian master Francesco Albani, this work on copper illustrates the Ecstasy of Mary Magdalene. She is shown being lifted toward a heavenly radiance by a group of winged angels, a common theme in Baroque religious art that emphasizes movement and divine light. The work is notable for its vibrant ultramarine background and the graceful, flowing drapery of the figures.
