Title: Mary Magdalene Artist: Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo (Italian [active in Venice], ca. 1480-ca. 1548) Date: between 1535 and 1540 Genre: religious art (Roman Catholic Christianity) Period: High Renaissance (Cinquecento) Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: 89.1 cm (35 in) high x 82.4 cm (32.4 in) wide Location: National Gallery, London, England, UK

Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo, originally from Brescia, specialized in religious subjects. His ~40 extant paintings are distinguished by innovative use of color and lighting, as well as influence from Flemish painters such as Hieronymus Bosch.

This work depicts Mary Magdalene in unusual fashion, with almost her entire body covered in a white cloak; only a hint of red at her wrist reflects more traditional depictions of her. At the lower left corner of the picture is a jar containing ointment (Savoldo follows the traditional identification of the Magdalene with the nameless repentant sinner who anointed Christ's feet with nard in the Synoptic Gospels). At the upper left, in the distance, is a landscape that may reflect the lagoons of Venice, where Savoldo worked for much of his career.
