'''Maddalena''' is a Baroque painting by the Italian artist Francesco del Cairo, created in the 17th century. This artwork depicts Mary Magdalene, a figure from the New Testament who was a follower of Jesus Christ and witnessed his crucifixion and resurrection. Del Cairo, known for his intense and dramatic style, captures the penitent Magdalene in a moment of deep contemplation and sorrow for her past life, a common theme in religious art of the period.

The painting is characterized by its strong chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, which del Cairo mastered under the influence of Caravaggio. This technique emphasizes the emotional intensity of the subject and adds a three-dimensional quality to the figure of Maddalena. The use of light not only highlights her tear-streaked face and the luxurious textures of her clothing but also serves as a metaphor for spiritual enlightenment and redemption.

Francesco del Cairo (1607–1665) was an accomplished painter of the early Baroque period, and his works are noted for their expressive realism and psychological depth. While ''Maddalena'' is one of several depictions of Mary Magdalene from the Baroque era, del Cairo's interpretation is particularly notable for its intimacy and the raw emotion conveyed through Maddalena's gaze and posture.

The painting is a significant example of del Cairo's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Baroque religious iconography. It reflects the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on personal piety and the inner experience of faith, which artists like del Cairo communicated through their dramatic and emotive representations of biblical figures. ''Maddalena'' remains an important work for the study of Baroque art and the cultural context in which it was produced.
