"Maddalena Penitente" (Penitent Magdalene) is a renowned oil painting by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, an influential Italian Baroque master known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and psychological realism. Created around 1594–1595, this artwork is one of Caravaggio's early works and exemplifies his revolutionary approach to religious subjects, depicting them with a striking sense of realism and humanity.

The painting portrays Mary Magdalene, a figure from the New Testament who was a follower of Jesus and is often depicted in art as a symbol of repentance and conversion. Caravaggio's interpretation diverges from the traditional iconography of the Magdalene as a voluptuous and lavishly adorned figure. Instead, he presents her as a somber, reflective young woman in the aftermath of her transformation. She is shown with disheveled hair and simple clothing, seated on a low chair, her hands clasped in her lap, and her eyes downcast in a moment of introspective sorrow or penance.

"Maddalena Penitente" is celebrated for its emotional depth and the artist's mastery in rendering the textures of skin and fabric, as well as the interplay of light and shadow that gives the figure a sculptural presence. The work is a prime example of Caravaggio's skill in creating narratives that are intimate and accessible, inviting viewers to engage with the subject's inner life.

The painting is part of the collection of the Galleria Doria Pamphilj in Rome, Italy, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. As with many of Caravaggio's works, "Maddalena Penitente" has been the subject of extensive art historical research, contributing to the understanding of the artist's oeuvre and the broader context of Baroque art.
