These visual qualities were a powerful countertrend to Baroque painting’s typical pomp and showiness. A native of the duchy of Lorraine in eastern present-day France, La Tour was indebted to Caravaggesque painting, but tended toward even more simplified forms. The quiet atmosphere of this painting perfectly fits the subject, Mary Magdalen, who renounced the pleasures of the flesh for a life of penance and contemplation. She is shown with a mirror, symbol of vanity; a skull, emblem of mortality; and a candle that probably references her spiritual enlightenment.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/436839\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - The Penitent Magdalen\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Georges de La Tour","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887281021171,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (52 1\/2\" x 40 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887565742323,"sku":null,"price":3275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 3\/8\" x 15 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887565775091,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (25\" x 19 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887565807859,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30 5\/8\" x 23 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887565840627,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (39 5\/8\" x 30 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887565873395,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (47 1\/2\" x 36 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887565906163,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (56\" x 42 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887565938931,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (67 1\/8\" x 51 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887565971699,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/ThePenitentMagdalen.jpg?v=1783625816","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-penitent-magdalen","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
