AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Penitent Maddalena
coming from a private collection

Suggestive Italian painting from the 18th century (Settecento), capable of blending spiritual intensity with great pictorial elegance. The figure of Mary Magdalene, beautiful, depicted in a moment of silent penance, exerts a strong emotional appeal, immediately engaging the viewer.

The traditional symbols — skull, ointment jar, book, loose hair — tell the universal theme of the fleeting nature of life and redemption, making this work particularly appreciated and sought after in the collection of antique paintings.

A painting of authentic historical and decorative charm, with a patina of time, ideal for enriching a collection or enhancing a representative environment.
Careful shipment, we do not ship to the USA.
