About Artwork: (About 1520) "Mary Magdalene, wearing a red mantle over a startlingly see-through dress, kneels in prayer in a landscape. A splendid manuscript, presumably a Book of Hours, rests on a large, conveniently shaped rock in front of her. Although she is gazing inwards, her eyes unfocused, the object of her prayer appears before her: an angel holds a large wooden Crucifix from which hangs the dead Christ. She appears again in the middle ground, reclining in front of a grotto. Mary Magdalene was one of Christ’s followers who, according to legend, ended her life in Provence. She lived for 30 years at La Sainte-Baume, east of Marseille (baoumo is a Provençal word for cave) – a popular pilgrimage site in the Renaissance. Her pose copies that of a statue displayed at La Sainte-Baume, images of which must have been available in Bruges, where this small panel was probably made." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
