Description:
|
Caravaggio effected in the Magdalene a radically prophetic decontextualization, at once modernizing (as seen in the tiled floor and the girl’s dress) and universalizing. The setting of a dim, bare chamber punctuated by light from an external source became the preferred existential space of his mature art (later done with greater contrast than seen here.) The saint has just renounced her former life; she has dropped a string of pearls and jewelry on the ground, next to a vial of unguent. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
