About the Item

Oil on Copper — "Saint Mary of Egypt, Penitent," Spanish or Flemish School, 17th Century A captivating oil on copper painting depicting Saint Mary of Egypt, dating from the 17th century. This intimate devotional work presents the saint kneeling in penitence within a cave, hands clasped in prayer before a crucifix. Her modest garment, flowing hair, and the somber presence of a skull and open book at her side symbolize renunciation, contemplation, and the transient nature of life. The delicate halo underscores her sanctity. While often mistaken for Saint Mary Magdalene, the iconography—particularly the three loaves of bread, which sustained her during her years of penance in the desert—identifies her as Saint Mary of Egypt, a repentant sinner who withdrew to the Transjordanian desert in the 4th and 5th centuries, as chronicled in Luis Monreal’s Iconography of Christianity. The work is executed on copper, a luxurious and durable support favored in the 17th century for its ability to capture fine detail and luminous color. Details Medium: Oil on copper Date: 17th century Dimensions (Framed): 34 × 28 cm Dimensions (Panel): 22 × 16 cm Provenance: Private European collection A superb devotional piece for collectors of Old Master paintings, Baroque religious art, or rare iconography.
