EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning sculpture of Mary Magdalene, dating back to the late 15th century. Crafted from polychrome stone by an anonymous French artist, this masterpiece can be found in the Church of St. Germain l Auxerrois in Paris, France. Mary Magdalene is depicted as a penitent saint, her long hair cascading down her shoulders and her eyes cast downward in deep contemplation. The intricate details of the sculpture highlight both the skill of the artist and the devotion with which Mary Magdalene is revered. The image captures not only her penitence but also her connection to bread, symbolizing sustenance and nourishment for both body and soul. This reference may allude to Mary's biblical story where she repented for her sins by living as a desert ascetic, sustained solely by divine providence. Known alternatively as Mary the Egyptian or Sainte Marie l'Egyptienne, this gothic statue exudes an air of solemnity and reverence that transports viewers back to medieval times. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic value but also in its representation of religious devotion during that era. Clement Guillaume has expertly captured this timeless piece through his lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even if we cannot witness it firsthand. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are reminded of Mary Magdalene's repentant spirit and enduring legacy as one of Christianity's most beloved figures.
