{"product_id":"mary-magdalene-taken-up-to-heaven-domenichino","title":"Mary Magdalene Taken up to Heaven - Domenichino","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined Baroque composition by Domenichino depicting the ascension of Mary Magdalene, rendered with classical precision and balanced movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomenichino, a central figure of the Bolognese School, produced this work during his mature period in Rome. The painting depicts the saint in a state of spiritual ecstasy, supported by a group of putti as she ascends towards the heavens. Her posture, with arms outstretched and gaze directed upwards, conveys the physical and emotional weight of her divine transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is balanced through the use of diagonal lines, which guide the viewer from the rocky outcrop in the lower right towards the celestial space occupied by the Magdalene. The artist employs a clear, controlled palette, favouring the golden ochre of the saint's drapery against the cool blues of the sky. The inclusion of the ointment jar, a traditional attribute of the Magdalene, identifies her role in the narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExecuted on copper, the surface allows for a high degree of detail and a smooth finish, characteristic of the artist's technical precision. The figures are rendered with a focus on anatomical clarity and classical proportions, reflecting the influence of Annibale Carracci. The surrounding putti provide a sense of movement, their varied expressions and poses adding a dynamic quality to the scene. This work demonstrates the artist's ability to combine theological subject matter with a refined, academic approach to composition. The landscape elements, while secondary, provide a grounding contrast to the ethereal nature of the central event, ensuring the focus remains on the saint's spiritual journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-holy-family-gaetano-gandolfi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Holy Family by Gaetano Gandolfi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-mond-crucifixion-raphael\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Mond Crucifixion by Raphael\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/domenichino\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDomenichino artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Domenichino","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461671878991,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461676269903,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461676302671,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461676335439,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461676368207,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461676400975,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461676433743,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461676466511,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461676499279,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461676532047,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461676564815,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461676597583,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Mary-Magdalene-Taken-up-to-Heaven_Poster_CompositorV1_1792111955846.jpg?v=1794354928","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/mary-magdalene-taken-up-to-heaven-domenichino","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
