AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Russian School – St. Mary Magdalene – large-format sacred painting, about 1900
Impressive large-format Russian Orthodox sacred painting depicting Saint Mary Magdalene, presumably created in the late 19th to early 20th century.
The saint is shown full-length in a wide landscape. She wears an elaborately executed green garment with a red undergarment and holds the anointing oil vial typical for Mary Magdalene in her hands. A finely drawn halo runs around her head.
In the upper part of the image there is Church Slavonic lettering. It names the depicted person as, in effect, “Saint Mary Magdalene, equal to the Apostles.”
The painting shows an interesting blend of traditional Orthodox iconography with a more academically Western-influenced painting style. Especially carefully executed are the face, hands, and the plastically modeled folds of the garment. The atmospheric landscape background adds spatial depth to the work.
Technique: oil on canvas
Origin: Russia / Russian Orthodox cultural area
Dating: probably ca. 1890–1915
Subject: St. Mary Magdalene with an anointing oil vial
Image size without frame: ca. 136 × 87 cm
Overall size with frame: ca. 149 × 100 cm
The painting is housed in a decorative black frame with gold-toned profiles and gilded-looking corner fittings.
The reverse shows a wooden stretcher or keystone frame with a central crossbar. The canvas on the back appears very uniform; an older doubling or conservational overhaul cannot be ruled out based on the photos. The outer light wooden frame and certain reinforcements seem to have been added later.
The work shows age-appropriate signs of wear and minor surface irregularities. The exact condition is well documented in the numerous detail photos.
Due to the unusually large format, the painting was originally intended for a church, chapel-like, or representative devotional space.
A decorative and imposing example of Russian Orthodox sacred painting from around 1900 with strong spatial effect and an extraordinary format.
