EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Magdalene, a revered biblical figure and one of the most intriguing women in Christian history, is depicted in this exquisite 16th century drawing by Biagio Pupini. The Italian artist masterfully captures the essence of Mary Magdalene's complex character, as both a penitent sinner and a devoted follower of Christ. Created in or after 1524, this artwork is executed in brown ink, brush and brown wash heightened in white over black chalk. The delicate use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to the figure, bringing her to life on the page. Mary Magdalene is shown here as a beautiful and sensual woman, with long, flowing hair and expressive eyes. She is dressed in the traditional robes of a penitent, with a veil covering her head and a small cross held in her hand. The background is left blank, drawing the viewer's focus to the figure herself. This drawing is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Biagio Pupini, who was a prominent figure in the Italian Renaissance. It is also a reminder of the enduring influence of the Bible and the stories it contains on art and culture throughout history. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful work in its collection, allowing visitors from around the world to appreciate the artistry and heritage of this remarkable artwork.
