Girolamo Troppa - Penitent Mary Magdalene

Girolamo Troppa
Rocchette in Sabina 1636 (RI) – Terni 1711

Penitent Mary Magdalene

Oil on canvas, 74 x 60 cm

This penitent Magdalene depicted kneeling and with joined hands, with long blond hair that fall on her naked bust and her eyes swollen up and flying angels, offers us a representative explanation of this theme, very popular in the late seventeenth century Roman painting.
