EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Penitent Mary Magdalene in a serene landscape. With folded hands, she exudes an air of contemplation and repentance. A charming putto tenderly carries her ointment jar, symbolizing her past life as a woman associated with luxury and sensuality. Part of an album dedicated to the penitent St. Mary Magdalene, this particular image portrays her near a cave, possibly at La Sainte-Baume hill. Her long hair gracefully covers her naked body, adding an element of vulnerability to the scene. Engrossed in deep thought, she is depicted reading or meditating while occasionally raising tear-filled eyes towards heaven. Created by Jan van Troyen in 1660 using paper and engraving techniques, this print showcases his mastery in capturing emotion through delicate details. The artist's name is mentioned on the object itself, emphasizing his contribution to this remarkable piece. The Liszt Collection presents this evocative artwork that invites viewers to reflect upon themes of redemption and spiritual transformation embodied by Mary Magdalene. This caption serves as a glimpse into the profound beauty and symbolism captured within this single frame from the collection's larger narrative surrounding religious iconography.
