"The Penitent Magdalen" is a renowned oil painting by the French Baroque artist Philippe de Champaigne, created in the 17th century. This artwork is one of several depictions of Mary Magdalene, a biblical figure who has been a popular subject in Christian art, particularly for her narrative of repentance and devotion to Jesus Christ. Philippe de Champaigne, known for his precise and realistic portrayal of his subjects, presents Magdalene in a moment of deep contemplation and sorrow for her past life, embodying the theme of penitence.

The painting is characterized by its austere composition and the use of chiaroscuro to highlight the figure of Magdalene. The subject is typically depicted with an alabaster jar, referencing the ointment she used to anoint Jesus' feet, which is also present in this work. The somber color palette and the attention to the textures of fabric and flesh underscore the gravity of Magdalene's repentance.

"The Penitent Magdalen" is not only a reflection of Champaigne's artistic skill but also an expression of the Catholic Reformation's emphasis on personal piety and the inner experience of faith. The work is emblematic of the Counter-Reformation's art, which sought to inspire viewers to a deeper religious experience and moral reflection.

Philippe de Champaigne's "The Penitent Magdalen" has been admired for its emotional depth and its exquisite representation of a transformative spiritual moment. The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the Baroque period and its enduring influence on the portrayal of religious figures in Western art. It remains an important work for scholars studying the period, Champaigne's oeuvre, and the iconography of Mary Magdalene in art history.
