A Newly Discovered Penitent Magdalen by Giampietrino

More than forty years ago, a sixteenth-century Italian painting of the Penitent Magdalen was donated to the Arizona State University (ASU) Art Museum (fig. 1). Relegated to storage, it was rarely seen and never published. This article, then, is the first to study this unjustly neglected work. It will begin by locating the painting within the oeuvre of an artist who portrayed a series of Magdalens with nearly identical compositions. Then it will explore the significance of several motifs that appear in this composition alone.
