EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning depiction of Mary Magdalene, taken from a Book of Hours dating back to the 16th century. Measuring at 16.5x12.5 cm, this vellum artwork is housed in the esteemed Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, France. The Flemish School's exquisite craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this medieval masterpiece. The full-length portrait captures the essence of Saint Mary Magdalene with remarkable precision and grace. Adorned with a delicate floral border, the illumination surrounding her adds an ethereal touch to the composition. Mary Magdalene herself is depicted holding an ointment jar, symbolizing her role as one of Jesus Christ's most devoted followers who witnessed his crucifixion and resurrection. As we gaze upon this illuminated image, we are transported back to the Renaissance era when such intricate artworks were highly revered. Upon closer inspection, one can spot tiny insects meticulously painted within the borders - a testament to the artist's attention to detail and commitment to realism. This print not only offers us a glimpse into history but also serves as a reminder of Mary Magdalene's significance within religious narratives. It encapsulates both artistic excellence and spiritual devotion that continues to inspire viewers centuries later.
