About the piece
Painted around 1710 by Frančišek Karel Remb, this work depicts Saint Mary Magdalene in a state of penitence. The dramatic use of light highlights the delicate rendering of her skin and hands, contrasted against the somber symbols of mortality—the skull and crucifix—resting in the shadows of her grotto.
