Artemisia Gentileschi; “Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy”, 1623.
Analysis and Observation.
I am particularly passionate about this painting. I think that I discover myself in her as if I were looking at a self-portrait, not because I compare myself with her in a peculiar physiognomic way, but rather as a simple and passionate woman, sensitive to the presence of love.
The posture of her body and her face reveal the fullness, her hands clasped around her knee, a spiritual contentment accentuated by her inner peace, in love and liberated from her.
I can feel the freshness of a soft breeze, her comfortable encounter with the inner world, her closed eyes are unbridled delivery, free rein before true love.
Each corner of this painting is covered with energy and teaching, there is a balanced horizontal line and a vertical line.
The looseness of her clothes highlights the softness of carelessness to the apparent, in a bit of privacy.
I would go through that act of ecstasy in the same way, and I would have chosen the same wardrobe and the way to leave my hair, I would not change anything, it would be just like a reality.
Maybe I’m not the only woman who would think the same way, when contemplating this delicate painting, without many contrasts, the entire likeness is recreated in perfect lights and excellently achieved shadows.
Painted in oil on canvas, it measures approximately 81 cm × 105 cm (32 in × 41 in) “There is no precise date for the painting; the first half of the 1620s has been suggested. (1623) The painting is in a European private collection.” Information obtained in read files.
Thank you so much for reading!
Esta obra particularmente me apasiona, creo que me descubro en ella como si mirara un autorretrato, no porque me compare con ella en un modo peculiarmente fisonómico, sino más bien como mujer sencilla y apasionada, sensible ante la presencia del amor.
La postura de su cuerpo y su rostro revelan la plenitud, con las manos entrelazadas alrededor de su rodilla, una satisfacción espiritual acentuada por la paz interior, enamorada y liberada.
Se puede sentir la frescura de una brisa suave, el confortable encuentro con el mundo interior, los ojos cerrados son la entrega desbocada, a riendas sueltas ante el verdadero amor.
Cada esquina de esta obra está cubierta de energía y enseñanza, hay una línea horizontal equilibrada y otra vertical.
La soltura de su ropa, destaca la suavidad del descuido a lo aparente, en un poco de intimidad.
Yo pasaría por ese acto de ecstasy de la misma forma y de igual manera habría elegido el mismo vestuario y la forma de dejar mi cabello, no cambiaría nada, sería tal cual como una realidad.
Pienso a la vez que no sería yo la única mujer que pensaría de la misma forma al contemplar esta delicada pintura donde sin muchos contrastes se recrea toda la gracia en perfectas luces y sombras excelentemente logradas.
