Mary Magdalene in Old Master Painting

About this collection

Mary Magdalene is one of the great subjects of Old Master painting, the penitent saint shown with her attributes of the skull, the book and the flask of ointment, meditating on vanity and redemption.

The works presented here are original 17th- and 18th-century oils from the Italian, Flemish and Dutch schools, painted on canvas, on wood panel and on copper. Attributions follow the cautious conventions of the Old Master market, from school works to circle attributions.
