Guido Cagnacci (Italian, 1601–1663), The Repentant Magdalene, detail, circa 1660.

Norton Simon Museum.

The event depicted in the elegant space of this canvas is an episode from the life of Mary Magdalene, the courtesan who renounced her sinful ways and converted to Christianity, following her encounter with Christ in the temple. Mary is shown on the floor, having discarded her luxurious clothes and jewels; her face is reddened from remorse and her body barely covered by a white sheet. Her sister Martha sits on a cushion, calming her, while behind them two servants are leaving the room after having witnessed their mistress’s emotional scene. Cagnacci has also included two allegorical figures to the left. A standing angel banishes a levitating devil, complete with horns and a tail. He lurches toward the window as he flees the room. The combatant figures represent Virtue and Vice as they battle for Mary’s soul at the moment she chooses to embrace her virtuous new Christian life. (x)

17th century gloves are. very good.

#17th century #gloves #I'm trying to get work done on other stuff right now but I CANNOT stop thinking about fancy gloves #I. want. to. sew. fancy. gloves. #and I have so so many different ideas for cuff decorations #I should be sleeping but I'm looking at 17th century gloves on pinterest and hhnnnghhhhhhhhhhhhhh #the ones I'm sewing are more 18th century but I am taking creative liberties with some pairs because I can sew whatever I want #and I'm going to be good and finish the waistcoat I'm working on before cutting out another pair of gloves #so as to not increase my unfinished project number #but I will be constantly thinking about fancy gloves as I work on that waistcoat #I have more lambskins and leather paint coming in the mail
