EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "Madeleine penitente" by Domenikos Theotokopoulos, also known as El Greco. Created between 1576 and 1577, this oil on canvas masterpiece is a prime example of Spanish art from the 16th century mannerism movement. Displayed in the Museum of Fine Arts Budapest in Hungary, this artwork depicts a moment of profound religious introspection. The central figure, Mary Magdalene, is portrayed with striking blonde hair and an expression of deep regret on her face. Her naked body symbolizes vulnerability and humility as she engages in penance for her sins. El Greco's attention to detail is evident in his meticulous rendering of Mary Magdalene's portrait. Every curve and contour of her chest and body are delicately captured, emphasizing both her physical beauty and spiritual devotion. The painting exudes a sense of religious ecstasy as it explores themes such as repentance and redemption. It serves as a visual representation of biblical characters and scenes while also incorporating elements from vanitas art. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures this powerful image through his photography, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate details that make El Greco's work so remarkable. This print offers an opportunity to bring home a piece of art history that continues to inspire awe centuries after its creation.
