Mary Magdalene — Jan van Scorel

Jan van Scorel. Painted c. 1530.

Mary Magdalene can be recognized by the jar of ointment in her hands with which she cared for Jesus’ feet following her conversion to Christianity. She is usually depicted as a prostitute, referencing her alleged past. The influence of Italian painting, which Van Scorel encountered during a sojourn in Rome and Venice, is evident in her clothing.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in Renaissance in the Netherlands, Middle Ages and Renaissance, Main building.
