"Maddalena in Preghiera" (Mary Magdalene in Prayer) is a 17th-century oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Domenico Cerrini, also known as Il Cavalier Perugino. The work is emblematic of Cerrini's style, which is characterized by a blend of classical influences and the Baroque emphasis on emotion and theatricality. The painting depicts Mary Magdalene, a figure from the New Testament who was a follower of Jesus Christ and present at his crucifixion and resurrection. In Christian art, she is often portrayed in a penitent pose, reflecting her transformation from a life of sin to one of devout penance.

Cerrini's rendition of Mary Magdalene is contemplative and imbued with a sense of quiet devotion. The subject is typically shown with her gaze turned upwards or towards a crucifix, symbolizing her reflection on the suffering of Christ and her own salvation. The use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic contrast between light and dark, serves to highlight the figure of the Magdalene and her emotional state, a technique that is characteristic of Baroque painting.

While the exact date of "Maddalena in Preghiera" is not definitively known, it is believed to have been painted during Cerrini's mature period, when he was active in Rome and had developed his distinct artistic voice, influenced by his contemporaries and the vibrant artistic environment of the city. The painting is a testament to Cerrini's skill in capturing the spiritual fervor of his subjects, and it contributes to the rich tradition of religious art in the Baroque period.

The artwork holds significance not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its representation of Mary Magdalene, a saint who has been the subject of extensive theological discourse and artistic representation throughout the centuries. "Maddalena in Preghiera" by Giovanni Domenico Cerrini remains an important work for scholars studying Baroque art and the iconography of Christian saints.
