Mary Magdalene by Gregor Erhart is a renowned sculpture that exemplifies the late Gothic style of the early 16th century. Gregor Erhart, a German sculptor active during the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance period, is celebrated for his intricate and emotive wood carvings. This particular work, believed to have been created around 1510-1520, showcases Erhart's mastery in rendering delicate human features and elaborate drapery.

The sculpture depicts Mary Magdalene, a significant figure in Christian tradition, often portrayed as a repentant sinner who became a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. Erhart's interpretation of Mary Magdalene is notable for its serene and contemplative expression, capturing a sense of spiritual introspection. The figure is typically shown with long, flowing hair, which is a traditional attribute associated with Mary Magdalene, symbolizing her penitent past and her transformation.

Crafted from limewood, a material favored by many German sculptors of the period for its fine grain and workability, the sculpture is distinguished by its detailed craftsmanship. The surface of the wood is meticulously carved to create lifelike textures, from the soft curls of Mary Magdalene's hair to the folds of her garments. The attention to detail and the naturalistic approach reflect the influence of the Renaissance ideals that were beginning to permeate Northern European art during Erhart's time.

Mary Magdalene by Gregor Erhart is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and study. The sculpture not only represents the technical prowess of its creator but also provides insight into the religious and cultural milieu of early 16th-century Germany. Through this work, Erhart has left an enduring legacy that bridges the Gothic and Renaissance artistic traditions, offering a poignant portrayal of one of Christianity's most enigmatic saints.
