"Mary Magdalene with the Ointment Jar" is a Baroque-era painting by the Italian artist Carlo Dolci, a prominent painter of the Florentine school known for his detailed and highly refined works with religious themes. The painting depicts Mary Magdalene, a figure from the New Testament, who is often represented in Christian art as a penitent sinner and follower of Jesus. In this artwork, Dolci portrays her in a moment of contemplation or devotion, holding an ointment jar, which is a traditional attribute associated with her. The jar refers to the episode in the Gospels where Mary Magdalene is said to have anointed Jesus' feet with expensive perfume and wiped them with her hair.

Carlo Dolci's rendition of Mary Magdalene is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail, soft color palette, and the use of light to imbue the scene with a sense of spirituality and emotional depth. The painting is a testament to Dolci's mastery of capturing the textures of fabrics and the delicate features of his subjects, which contribute to the overall sense of piety and reverence in the image.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not universally agreed upon, but it is generally attributed to the mid-17th century, a period during which Dolci received numerous commissions for religious works. "Mary Magdalene with the Ointment Jar" is considered one of his significant contributions to the portrayal of Mary Magdalene in art, reflecting the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on personal piety and the veneration of saints.

The painting has been held in various private and public collections over the centuries, and its provenance reflects the changing tastes and interests of art collectors and institutions in Baroque and religious art. As with many of Dolci's works, this painting has been studied for its iconography, technique, and place within the broader context of 17th-century Italian painting. It remains an important example of Dolci's artistic legacy and the enduring appeal of religious subjects in European art history.
