The Magdalen and the Angel

Giulio Cesare Procaccini (1574-1625)

Here Mary Magdalene is shown as “penitent”, with her hand resting on a skull and her eyes raised to the sky, as though enraptured in contemplation. In the middle ground, an angel comes to her, looking at her and pointing with his left forefinger towards the reality of heaven.
