"The Penitent Magdalene" is a notable oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Abraham Janssens van Nuyssen, created in the early 17th century. Janssens, a contemporary of Peter Paul Rubens, was a significant figure in the Antwerp art scene and was known for his strong, Caravaggesque style, characterized by dramatic chiaroscuro and a realistic approach to human figures.

The painting depicts Mary Magdalene, a saint who, according to Christian tradition, repented her sins and became one of Jesus's most devoted followers. In art, she is often portrayed in a moment of reflection or penitence, and Janssens's interpretation is no exception. The work captures Magdalene in a solitary moment, her gaze turned away from the viewer, suggesting introspection and remorse. The use of light emphasizes her emotional state, highlighting her tear-stained face and the skull she contemplates, which serves as a memento mori, a reminder of mortality and the transience of earthly life.

Janssens's "The Penitent Magdalene" is significant for its emotional depth and its contribution to the iconography of Mary Magdalene in Baroque art. The painting is an example of the Counter-Reformation's influence on art, where the emphasis on religious themes and personal piety was paramount. The artwork is a testament to Janssens's mastery of the Baroque style and his ability to convey complex spiritual narratives through his paintings.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is generally attributed to the period when Janssens was at the height of his artistic powers. The painting has been studied for its stylistic elements and its place within the oeuvre of Janssens, as well as within the broader context of Flemish Baroque painting. "The Penitent Magdalene" remains an important work for scholars interested in the religious and artistic trends of the early 17th century in the Southern Netherlands.
