The Ecstasy of Mary Magdalene, the French school of the 1600s
This intriguing seventeenth-century painting that portrays the splendid figure of the Magdalene in ecstasy, strikes the spectator for the almost lifeless pose of the attractive protagonist. In fact, the author, evidently endowed with an excellent hand, succeeds in making the sensual body of the Magdalene undoubtedly give off a mystical but equally charged expression of erotic drive.
