"La Madeleine Pénitente en Extase" (The Penitent Magdalene in Ecstasy) is an artwork by Jacques Bellange, a French artist and printmaker of the late Mannerist school. Bellange, who was active in the early 17th century, is known for his distinctive and sophisticated style, which is characterized by elongated figures and an expressive use of line. Although primarily recognized for his etchings and engravings, Bellange also produced a number of drawings and paintings, among which "La Madeleine Pénitente en Extase" is often noted for its emotive power and technical finesse.

The artwork depicts Mary Magdalene, a figure from the New Testament who was a follower of Jesus and is often portrayed in Christian art as a symbol of repentance and conversion. In Bellange's interpretation, Magdalene is shown in a moment of religious ecstasy, reflecting a common theme in Counter-Reformation art that emphasized personal piety and the inner experience of faith. The work is notable for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro, the stark contrast between light and dark, which serves to highlight the spiritual awakening of the penitent saint.

While the exact date of creation for "La Madeleine Pénitente en Extase" is not definitively established, it is generally attributed to the period of Bellange's artistic maturity, likely in the second decade of the 17th century. The artwork is considered an important example of the Mannerist style transitioning into the Baroque period, showcasing the evolving tastes and religious sensibilities of the time.

"La Madeleine Pénitente en Extase" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and contribution to the understanding of the period's religious art. It remains a subject of study for art historians interested in the Mannerist movement and the cultural context of the Counter-Reformation. The work's current location or ownership status, however, is not well-documented in public records, which may pose challenges for those seeking to view the piece in person or study it in greater detail.
