EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to a moment of profound introspection and penance. The image depicts Penitent Mary Magdalene, known for her transformation from a harlot to a devoted follower of Christ. She sits in deep prayer, holding a crucifix close to her heart, as she seeks solace and redemption. The setting is an austere cave, symbolizing the solitude and seclusion that Mary sought during her period of repentance. A skull rests beside her, reminding us of the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death. A book lies open before her, representing knowledge and spiritual enlightenment. Mary's possible attributes surround her - a scroll signifying wisdom gained through reflection; a crown alluding to her royal lineage; thorns symbolizing suffering endured; a jar of ointment recalling her act of anointing Jesus' feet; a mirror reflecting upon past sins; musical instruments evoking praise and worship; palm-branches denoting victory over sin; rosary beads for devotion and contemplation; and finally, scourges as reminders of self-discipline. This exquisite etching by Lorenzo Loli captures both the fragility and strength within Mary Magdalene's journey towards forgiveness. It serves as an invitation for viewers to reflect on their own paths towards redemption while appreciating the artistic mastery behind this remarkable piece.
