Martha and Mary Magdalene by Caravaggio

Paintings Maltese and Mary Magdalen are among the many masterpieces of Detroit's DIA collection. There are still a lot of things to understand in art, but please look at it. In order to understand the work, we must understand artists, times and symbols that may have clear meaning in the picture. Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio is well known as Italian Baroque master painter Caravaggio born in Italy around 1571. After apprenticing the painter in Milan, he moved to Rome where he spent most of his time there.

The first painting on Caravaggio's religious themes returned to realism, with extraordinary spirituality. These first ones turned from her life as a prostitute, confessed Magdalen, cried on the floor, cried, she was showing Mary Magdalen her jewels were scattered around her. "It does not seem to be a religious picture at all ... A girl is sitting on a low wooden bench to dry his hair, a promise of salvation?" It was underestimated in the way Lombard did, at that time It was not the dramatic way of Rome's way of doing. Some people of the same style, such as St. Catherine, Martha and Maria Magdalen, Judith Beatinging Holfernes, Isaac's sacrifice, Ecstasy's Assisi St. Francis, and Egypt escape. These works are appreciated within a relatively limited range and are increasing the reputation of Caravaggio enthusiasts and his artists.

According to the Bible tradition, St. Malta is the sister of St. Mary Magdalene and St. Lazarus, Christ is risen from the dead. In a story about Luke's Gospel, Malta accepted Jesus into her house and gave him food for him talking to Mary, a sister sitting at his feet. According to the legend of the Middle Ages, Maltese, Mary, Lazarus traveled in southern France, where he preached the gospel and helped spread the message of Jesus' peace and love. She was also accused of dragon-like monsters called Taras, trained, trained with holy water on it and cited the name of God. I personally like St. Malta. She's telling us that we can achieve greatness through simple things as long as they accomplish love and faith. - James du Valier
