"Oil On Canvas Representing Madeleine In Ecstasy From The Early 18th Century."
Bright depiction of the Magdalene in ecstasy witnessing the divine manifestation described through the sloping light coming from the top left. The future Saint Mary Magdalene is depicted within a beautiful rocky landscape, right at the moment of her conversion, in fact, the ointment on the ground symbolizes the renunciation of the sinful life she had previously led and the skull and the book symbolize her reflection on life and the passage of time.
We immediately notice a certain pictorial and chromatic quality of the painting, which could belong to a talented painter of the Bolognese school active in the very early 18th century.
The painting is in excellent condition. Its measurements are 43cm x 57cm - its frame measurements are 59cm x 71cm.
We attach a certificate of authenticity to the sale.
