Description : Maddalena penitente in paesaggio
Oil painting on canvas. Magdalene, recognizable by her long hair, scantily dressed clothes and prayerful attitude, is placed in the lower right corner of a large landscape, at the mouth of the cave where the saint lived in penance. The landscape is Nordic in type, with a stream flowing between the rocks of a valley surmounted by wooded hills; in the distance the blue peaks of the mountains, under the leaden sky. On the back of the stretcher there is a pencil writing with attribution to Nicolas Poussin the French classicist painter of the seventeenth century, who was a model and example for those who wanted to follow the same stylistic orientation. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a period frame.
