Description : Maddalena penitente
Oil on copper. The Magdalene, traditionally depicted undressed and with her long loose hair framing her face and shoulders, is placed inside a cave, a hermitage of meditation, in an ecstatic attitude of contemplation of the angel who appears to her from heaven; in the lower left the skull, memento mori, and the pot of balm to recall the episode of the Gospel in which she anointed Jesus'feet. The painting is presented in a frame from the early 1900s.
