Mary Magdalen in Penitence

From just 49 USD From just 149 USD
Mary Magdalen in Penitence (1578-80) is a oil on canvas painting by the Spanish Renaissance painter, sculptor and architect El Greco. Portrayed as a hermit saint, Mary Magdalen sits alone outside her cave, which according to legend was at St-Baume in southern France. During the course of his career El Greco developed five different compositions representing the Magdalen in penitence. This is an excellent example of the first of these developed soon after his arrival in Spain. Demand for such images was so strong that El Greco had copies made in his workshop from his originals. In this painting, the refined execution of the drapery and of the still-life indicate the hand of El Greco himself. The painting (108 x 101 cm) is in the collection of the Worcester Art Museum, Worcester, Massachussetts.
