EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Magdalene at the Feet of Jesus in the Home of Simon the Pharisee" is a captivating engraving by Michel Natalis, dating from the 17th or 18th century. This monochrome print, with its striking contrast of black and white on cream laid paper, transports us back to a pivotal moment in the New Testament. The scene unfolds in the home of Simon the Pharisee, where Mary Magdalene, a woman of questionable reputation, has entered uninvited to pay homage to Jesus. Seated at Jesus' feet, she weeps and washes them with her tears and hair, an act of devotion that leaves the other guests, including Simon, perplexed. In this powerful image, Michel Natalis masterfully captures the intimacy and emotion of the moment. Jesus, depicted in a serene and compassionate pose, reaches out to touch Mary's hand, acknowledging her faith and devotion. Mary, with her eyes fixed on Jesus, is lost in her reverence, while the other guests, represented by a group of men, look on with a mixture of curiosity, disbelief, and perhaps even disdain. The bodies of the figures are rendered with exquisite detail, from the folds of their robes to the expressive faces. The use of chiaroscuro, or strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and drama to the composition. This print is a testament to Michel Natalis' skill as an engraver and his ability to bring the stories of the New Testament to life. This evocative work of art is a valuable addition to any collection of religious art or prints and drawings. It invites us to reflect on the themes of faith, devotion, and redemption, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place.
