1613–1678 Bones Giulio Carpioni Impression Left Foreground Light Rays Skull Venice
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Giulio Carpioni's masterpiece, "Penitent Magdalen kneeling on rocky ground with a skull". The image depicts a poignant scene of repentance and reflection, as the Magdalen kneels in solitude amidst a desolate landscape. The composition is strikingly enhanced by the presence of a prominent skull and scattered bones, symbolizing mortality and reminding viewers of life's fleeting nature. In the left foreground lies an ointment jar, perhaps alluding to Mary Magdalene's previous occupation as a perfumer. As rays of light pierce through dark clouds above, winged putti gracefully descend towards the penitent figure. This celestial intervention adds an ethereal quality to the artwork, suggesting divine forgiveness and redemption. Carpioni's masterful etching technique brings depth and texture to this piece. Every intricate detail is meticulously captured on this 8 9/16 x 5 11/16-inch sheet. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow creates a dramatic contrast that intensifies the emotional impact of the scene. Giulio Carpioni was an Italian artist hailing from Venice during the seventeenth century. His profound understanding of human emotions is evident in this impressionistic work that continues to captivate audiences today. This print allows art enthusiasts to own their very own piece inspired by Carpioni's genius. It serves as a reminder of our shared humanity, prompting contemplation about life's transience
