The Penitent Magdalen ca. 1640 Object Details Title: The Penitent Magdalen Artist: Georges de La Tour (French, Vic-sur-Seille 1593–1653 Lunéville) Date: ca. 1640 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 52 1/2 x 40 1/4 in. (133.4 x 102.2 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wrightsman, 1978 Accession Number: 1978.517 A sinner, perhaps a courtesan, Mary Magdalen was a witness of Christ who renounced the pleasures of the flesh for a life of penance and contemplation. She is shown with a mirror, symbol of vanity; a skull, emblem of mortality; and a candle that probably stands for her spiritual enlightenment. The style of La Tour, a native of the duchy of Lorraine in eastern France, is much indebted to Caravaggesque painting. The contrast of candlelight and shadow, the pure geometry of form, and the meditative mood characterize the pictures for which he is famous. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436839

The Fortune-Teller, probably 1630s Object Details Artist: Georges de La Tour (French, Vic-sur-Seille 1593–1653 Lunéville) Date: probably 1630s Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 40 1/8 x 48 5/8 in. (101.9 x 123.5 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1960 Accession Number: 60.30 This celebrated painting, which was only discovered in the middle of the twentieth century, catches the moment when a wealthy young man, distracted by having his fortune told by an old gyspy woman, is robbed by her companions. The costume and composition may have been influenced by a theatrical scene, but such cautionary images, made popular by Caravaggio, were painted throughout Europe in the seventeenth century. Although scholars have debated whether the artist had seen Caravaggio’s work in Rome, the inscription in the right corner includes the name of the town where the artist lived in northeastern France.
