EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork "St. Mary Magdalene" by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, painted in 1897. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures 116.5x89.5 cm and is currently housed at the Museum of Fine Arts (Szepmuveszeti) in Budapest, Hungary. In this painting, St. Mary Magdalene is depicted as a saintly figure seated with an air of penitence and humility. Her nude form evokes vulnerability and sadness, emphasizing her fallible nature despite her sainthood status. With bare breasts, long flowing hair, and three-quarter length composition, she exudes femininity and grace. The artist skillfully portrays St. Mary Magdalene amidst rocky terrain adorned with delicate flowers, symbolizing the contrast between strength and fragility within her character. Puvis de Chavannes' attention to detail captures both the physical beauty of his subject as well as the emotional depth behind her eyes. This powerful image invites viewers to contemplate themes of redemption, spirituality, and human imperfection through its portrayal of one of Christianity's most enigmatic figures - St. Mary Magdalene.
