The Penitent Magdalene

Features

Description

Oil on canvas. The work represents a reinterpretation of the theme of Mary Magdalene, so widely treated in waist and breasts uncovered, from 17th-century versions of disturbing Guido Cagnacci to nineteenth-century productions of closer Hayez; the framework proposes figure dressed in women's clothes and jewelry from the 19th century, the reflection on the penitent sinner. An engraving on the back in ink recalls Anselm Feuerbach as an author. The work is presented and reintelata in early ' 900 frame, without glass.
