About the Item
Oil on Canvas. Italian school of the 17th-18th centuries.
Magdalene is depicted inside a cave, stretched out on the ground in a pose of soft abandon, partially covered by a white cloth and with her long, loose hair covering her bare breasts, arranged almost to form an embroidery on her body; the saint is reading the Bible and holding up a Cross with her hand resting on a skull, the traditional Memento mori.
Around her, three little angels assist her, one holding the jar of ointment, the other arranging her hair, the third covering her feet with the white cloth.
The sacredness of the scene mingles with the sensuality emanating from Magdalene, enhanced by the play of light and shadow that brings out her body and the incarnations of the angels.
Restored and re-tinted, the painting shows traces of an old patch in the upper right corner, made with other canvas (probably because the original canvas was inserted in an irregular space).
