Magdalene at Prayer 150x105 cm Oil painting on canvas
Italian Lombard master of the second half of the 17th century.
The Magdalene presented to the viewer's eyes reflects an iconography different from what is proposed in the canonical installations of the time: the woman is in fact covered by a snow-white monk's headdress, a symbol of total spiritual union with Christ. This is a stylistic accent that incredibly anticipates the devotional paintings that, between the second half of the 18th century and the early years of the 19th century, were to spread throughout the peninsula.
