Description : Maddalena penitente

Oil painting on canvas. The subject, recurring in 17th and 18th century painting due to the mystical but at the same time sensual component of this saint, presents Magdalene in the desert, wrapped in her long loose hair and a drape, while on her knees she meditates on the skull, the traditional Memento mori, holding a sackcloth in his hand; Above her is an angel holding the jar of ointments in his hand, another attribute of the saint, whose shoulder he is preparing to anoint, as a sign of consecration to God. The work, restored and relined, is presented in a contemporary frame.
