"Maddalena Penitente" is a renowned Baroque painting by the Italian artist Guido Reni, dated to around 1635. The artwork depicts Mary Magdalene, a figure from the New Testament who was a follower of Jesus Christ and is often portrayed in Christian art as a symbol of penitence and redemption. In Reni's interpretation, Mary Magdalene is shown in a moment of spiritual reflection and sorrow for her past sins, a common theme in Counter-Reformation art that emphasized repentance and conversion.

The painting is characterized by its soft, diffused lighting and the gentle, yet expressive portrayal of Mary Magdalene's face, which reflects Reni's mastery of capturing human emotion. The saint is typically depicted with long flowing hair, clasping a skull, which serves as a memento mori, a reminder of the inevitability of death and the importance of a virtuous life. Her eyes are often cast upwards or closed in contemplative prayer, further emphasizing her spiritual awakening and the rejection of her former life.

"Maddalena Penitente" is a prime example of Reni's skill in combining classical beauty with spiritual intensity. The artist's use of color, light, and composition contributes to the overall sense of piety and grace that is central to the work. Reni's paintings of Mary Magdalene were highly influential and popular during his lifetime, and they continue to be celebrated for their emotional depth and aesthetic qualities. The artwork remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Guido Reni and a significant contribution to Baroque religious art.
