Description: | Mary Magdalene, praying in the wildnerness, is surrounded by symbols of her renunciation of the world: a crucifix, a book, a chalice and a skull to remind her of the transience of human existence. Cornelis van Poelenburgh often painted nude or semi-draped female figures such as this in landscapes; however, while this painting imitates his style, it is likely to be the work of a follower. | Subjects: | figure; religion (Mary Magdalene); landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Poelenburgh, Cornelis van (Dutch painter and draftsman, 1594 or 1595-1667) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8622... | Go to resource |
