The Penitent Magdalene was a popular subject among Renaissance and Baroque artists. She closes her eyes in contemplation, making Artemisia\u2019s take on the subject rather different from other masters. Most paintings and sculptures of the Penitent Magdalene show her at the moment of conversion. Her eyes are often widened with awe as a light shines on her. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> is apparent in paintings by <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/a\/a2\/Magdalena_penitente%2C_por_Tiziano.jpg\/800px-Magdalena_penitente%2C_por_Tiziano.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Titian<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/3\/39\/El_Greco_-_The_Penitent_Magdalene_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg\/800px-El_Greco_-_The_Penitent_Magdalene_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">El Greco<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, and even Artemisia\u2019s father, <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/1\/12\/Orazio_Gentileschi_-_Penitent_Magdalene_GG_179.jpg\/1280px-Orazio_Gentileschi_-_Penitent_Magdalene_GG_179.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Orazio Gentileschi<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Keith Christiansen suggests that the pose of Artemisia\u2019s Magdalene, her head lolling off to the side, is reminiscent of depictions of the crucifixion, lamentation, and entombment of Christ, with the surrounding figures bowing their heads with grief. Artemisia further distinguishes her Magdalene from others by refraining from showing nudity. These other Penitent Magdalene paintings all show the saint bare-breasted to indicate her previous life of sin. But Artemisia does not do that. Artemisia shows the saint with pearl earrings and a gold bracelet, representing a past life of sin by decorating her with luxurious trinkets, serving as remnants of vanity. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> makes Artemisia\u2019s version more like <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/4\/4c\/Michelangelo_Caravaggio_063.jpg\/800px-Michelangelo_Caravaggio_063.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Caravaggio\u2019s realistic Magdalene<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.

Art historians generally agree that Gentileschi\u2019s original <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Penitent Mary Magdalene<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> hangs at Seville Cathedral\u2019s treasury. But the Kimbell <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">seems to assert<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> that <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/2\/25\/Artemisia_Gentileschi_%E2%80%94_Conversione_della_Maddalena_%28Maria_Maddalena_penitente.jpg\/540px-Artemisia_Gentileschi_%E2%80%94_Conversione_della_Maddalena_%28Maria_Maddalena_penitente.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the Seville painting<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> is a later copy. According to the museum\u2019s press release, the painting was \u201cfamous and was widely copied. Yet despite its fame, the original painting subsequently disappeared. Notable copies include canvases today in Seville Cathedral and the Museo Soumaya in Mexico City.\u201d It implies that the Seville painting is the creation of a student or a young artist making a copy or a study of a great masterwork. Art historian Mary Garrard writes that the Seville painting is \u201cunquestionably by Artemisia\u2019s hand.\u201d Garrard claims the Kimbell painting is also by Artemisia herself, but it is\u00a0 \u201ca replica of [the Seville painting\u2019s] design\u201d. Other sources, like the Saint Louis Art Museum\u2019s 2002 Gentileschi exhibition, claim that both the Seville and Kimbell versions are Artemisia\u2019s copies of the lost original.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The most striking difference between the Kimbell and Seville versions is the veil draped over the saint\u2019s shoulder. In the Seville painting, the cloth is wider and covers more skin. Some speculate that this was added later to appease the Church. The absence of this addition in the Kimbell version has led art historians to theorize that the Kimbell version was painted directly from the Seville version before the extra drapery was added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The original painting, likely the Seville version, was created around 1625 and purchased by the Duke of Alcal\u00e1, who later served as the Spanish viceroy of Naples. Some conclude that the Seville painting is the original work commissioned by the Duke. However, art historians Jonathan Brown and Richard Kagan note that the Penitent Magdalene was not listed in the Duke of Alcal\u00e1\u2019s inventory when he transferred his collection from Naples to Seville. Therefore, the version in Seville today may be another version Artemisia made. Garrard uses several art collection inventories to deduce that Artemisia may have sold a copy to the legal scholar Ettore Capecelatro, whose estate later sold it to the banker Davide Imperiale. From there, the painting went to Imperiale\u2019s home city of Genoa. There, the trail ends, but Garrard suggests that it\u2019s likely that this second version is the same painting that turned up at the Tajan auction house in Paris in 2001 and now hangs at the Kimbell Museum in Texas. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, however, does not mean the Kimbell version is the original. Several scholars note that the Kimbell version seems a little more roughly done. Garrard notes that some aspects seem to have been done \u201cin a slightly more generalized, somewhat stylized, manner.\u201d Furthermore, the hand brought up to the face is \u201cpainted far more meticulously\u201d in the Seville painting. The Seville version seems more like the kind of painting that would <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">be presented<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> as a commission from a prominent patron.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Kimbell Museum\u2019s director, Eric Lee, described the painting as \u201cnewly rediscovered\u201d. I suppose there\u2019s a bit of truth to the statement. When it came up in Paris in 2001, Tajan attributed the painting to Artemisia\u2019s studio. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So, assigning the work a full attribution to Artemisia and claiming it\u2019s the original painting will <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">surely<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> provoke some interesting debates within <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the realm of<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Old Masters scholarship.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kimbell Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, has just acquired a painting by the seventeenth-century Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi.
