AFTER GUIDO RENI | SAINT MARY MAGDALENE

A copy, in reverse, after Guido Reni's original 1626-27 canvas formerly in the Barberini collection in Rome, and recorded by Stephen Pepper in his 1988 catalouge raisonné of Guido's œuvre as in the collection of George Englil, Freeport, Bahamas.¹ Guido returned to the composition in 1633 and adapted the format to depict the saint full-length in his celebrated canvas painted for Cardinal Antonio Santacroce, now in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, Rome.²
