"Saint Mary Magdalen Reading" is a Renaissance oil painting by Ambrosius Benson, a Northern Renaissance artist of the Flemish school. The work is dated to the early 16th century, a period in which religious themes were prevalent in European art. Benson, who was active in Bruges, is known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey texture and emotion in his paintings.

The painting depicts Mary Magdalene, a figure from the New Testament, engaged in the act of reading. This portrayal aligns with the iconographic tradition of the penitent Magdalene, emphasizing her piety and contemplative life following her encounter with Jesus Christ. In the artwork, Mary Magdalene is typically shown with an open book, symbolizing her devotion and the transformative power of spiritual enlightenment.

Ambrosius Benson's rendition of Mary Magdalene is notable for its serene atmosphere and the sense of intimacy it evokes. The figure is often bathed in a soft light that highlights her concentration and the quietude of her surroundings. The painting's composition, use of color, and the rendering of textures such as fabrics and the natural landscape are characteristic of Benson's style and contribute to the overall impact of the work.

"Saint Mary Magdalene Reading" is considered an important example of Benson's religious portraiture and contributes to our understanding of the devotional practices and artistic conventions of the time. The painting is held in high regard for its artistry and as a representation of the Northern Renaissance's contribution to the broader European artistic heritage.
