For those interested in the explanation of the theme:
Mary Magdalene has always been an ambiguous figure in the Catholic religion, first because she is a woman, very close to Jesus (too close!) then because of her former profession, prostitute, all this was difficult to manage for a church made up exclusively of men trying to repress their sexuality at the risk of sinking into perversity. They obviously preferred to see in her the repentant sinful woman rather than the symbol of female sexuality and perhaps that of Jesus. Painters themselves played a lot with this ambiguity, and they very often represented Mary Magdalene praying or in ecstasy, totally naked under long hair or very lightly covered, and these works were very successful with the public, because they seemed to finally reconcile female sexuality and the sacred, they were liberating. In recent decades with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Gospel of Thomas, those of Mary and Philip... then the famous Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, Mary Magdalene has regained an image of an honorable woman and has even become a feminist icon. For me, representing a naked woman in a sacred place is completely harmonious, the naked body is as we are at the beginning, at birth, without protection it symbolizes the fragility of the human, and without the artifice of the social "costume", it does not allow any cheating, it places us on an equal footing. The body of the woman who creates life, an eminently divine act, is therefore doubly sacred and its artistic perfection puts it in perfect harmony with these sacred masterpieces that are monuments such as monasteries or cathedrals.
