EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Magdalene, a revered biblical figure and one of the most enigmatic disciples of Jesus Christ, is depicted in this exquisite 16th century drawing by Biagio Pupini. Created in or after the year 1524, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Italian Renaissance. The drawing, executed in black chalk, brown ink, and brown wash, heightened in white over black chalk, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in brush drawing. Mary Magdalene, dressed in a flowing robe, is shown with long, curly hair and a melancholic expression. She is seated on a rocky outcropping, her gaze fixed on the horizon as if in deep contemplation. The use of color and contrast in this work is striking, with the brown wash and white highlights creating a sense of depth and texture. This drawing is a significant addition to the rich artistic heritage of Italy and the Christian tradition. Mary Magdalene, a central figure in the New Testament, has long been a subject of fascination for artists and theologians alike. Her role as a penitent sinner and devoted follower of Christ has made her a beloved figure in Christianity, and her image has been depicted in countless works of art throughout history. This beautiful drawing by Biagio Pupini is now part of the permanent collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is on display for visitors to appreciate and contemplate the beauty and significance of this iconic biblical figure.
