Penitent Magdalene (Donatello)
The ''Penitent Magdalene'' is a wooden sculpture of Mary Magdalene by the Italian Renaissance sculptor Donatello, now usually dated to around 1440. The sculpture was probably commissioned for the Baptistery of Florence. The piece was received with astonishment for its unprecedented realism. It is now in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Florence. The wood used by Donatello is that of white poplar. Wood was still used for crucifixes for its lightness. It was also non expensive and convenient for transporting long distances, and was usually painted. When a Florentine confraternity in Venice commissioned from Donatello a statue of John the Baptist, patron saint of Florence, still in the Frari Church there, wood was chosen. It was signed and dated 1438 (before this was revealed in conservation work it had been dated later), and remains the only work by Donatello in the city; he usually did not sign his work, except for some commissions destined for outside Florence.

Penitent Magdalene (Caravaggio)
''Penitent Magdalene'' (also called ''Repentant Madalene'') is a 16th-century Oil painting, oil on canvas painting by Italian Baroque painter Caravaggio. The painting portrays a repentant Mary Magdalene bowed in penitent sorrow as she leaves behind her dissolute life, its trappings abandoned beside her. At the time of its completion, ca. 1594–1595, the painting was unconventional for its contemporary realism and departure from traditional Magdalene iconography. It has invited both criticism and praise, with speculation even into the 21st century as to Caravaggio's intentions. The work hangs in the Doria Pamphilj Gallery in Rome.Varriano (2006), p. 118. Composition The painting depicts a young brunette, squatting or kneeling on a low chair, with her hands cradled in her lap. By her side is a collection of jewelry and a stoppered bottle of liquid, nearly three-quarters full. Her gaze is averted from the viewer, her head turned downward in a position that has been compared to tradi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The ''Penitent Magdalene'' is a painting of saint Mary Magdalene by Titian dating to around 1531, signed 'TITIANUS' on the ointment jar to the left. It is now in the Sala di Apollo of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy. History It was commissioned by the Duke of Mantua, Federico Gonzaga, to be a devotional image for the famous poet Vittoria Colonna (1490–1547). However, it is universally believed that Vittoria gave the Magdalen away to Eleonora Gonzaga, as it was found in her son the Duke of Urbino's collection in 1631.Goffen, Rona. ''Titian's Women''. Yale UP, 1997. Colonna, a learned and devout woman, was greatly inspired by Titian's image of the Magdalen, even though the Magdalen is very sensuously portrayed in Titian's depiction. The Magdalen's radiant appearance before a dark background, as if her light comes from within, caused Colonna to believe that the Magdalen was "aglow with her burning passion for Christ."Debby, Nirit Ben-Aryeh (2003-01-01).

Vasari's ''Lives of the Artists'' mentions several copies of the ''Penitent Magdalene'', the oldest of them (the only pre- Tridentine of the four) was then in the 'guardaroba' of the Duke of Urbino and later came to Florence as part of Vittoria Della Rovere's dowry in 1631. Another version was acquired by a Venetian nobleman for 100 ducats, forcing Titian quickly to produce a third variant in 1561 to meet a commission from Philip II of Spain - this showed the saint clothed and later passed to a British c ...
