Description
Fine 17th Century German School, Oil on Canvas, "Mary Magdalene" The painting depicts the penitent Mary Magdalene holding a cross, beside a skull and weeping. The life of the historical Mary Magdalene is the subject of ongoing debate, while the less-obscure development of the "Penitent Magdalene", as the most beloved medieval female saint after Mary, both as an exemplar for the theological discussion of penitence and a social parable for the position and custody of women, provides matter for the social historian and the history of ideas. This work is housed in its original ornately carved gilt wood frame. - SIZE: 32 1/2" x 37" (art work) / 42" x 48" (frame). - CONDITION: Minor paint loss, some crazing throughout, overall very good.
Condition
Excellent. See description for eventual details.
