EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork "St Mary Magdalene" by Quentin Metsys I. The artist's talent is beautifully captured in this powerful portrait, which can be found in the esteemed collection of the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp, Belgium. The image portrays a caucasian woman, identified as Mary Magdalene, holding an urn with a solemn expression on her face. Her sorrowful gaze is directed downwards, evoking a sense of deep sadness and introspection. The flask she holds symbolizes death and mourning, emphasizing the somber theme depicted in this artwork. Set against an outdoor backdrop, this portrait captures the essence of Mary Magdalene's character as described in religious texts. She was known for her devotion to Jesus Christ and her transformation from a sinner to a devoted follower. This portrayal by Metsys skillfully conveys both her vulnerability and strength. Dating back to the 1920s, this monochrome piece exemplifies Flemish and Belgian art from centuries past. Its inclusion in "The Exhibition organized by the Anglo-Belgian Union at Burlington House" highlights its significance within art history. Quentin Metsys I's mastery shines through his attention to detail and ability to convey complex emotions through his subjects' expressions. This print serves as a testament to his artistic prowess while also honoring St Mary Magdalene's enduring legacy as an influential figure within Christianity.
