The penance of Mary Magdalene
oil painting on canvas, The painting depicts the sisters Mary Magdalene and Martha; the first in the foreground, well lit, with elegant clothes as a sign of vanity and the palm of martyrdom as a symbol of his conversion; the sister, to the right of the scene, partially illuminated but with her face in shadow, is portrayed in more modest clothes.
The attribution to Giovanni Girolamo Bonesi is due to Prof. Daniele Benati on a photographic basis
