EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "Mary Magdalen in the wilderness" was created by Dutch artist Willem Pietersz. Buytewech around 1613-14. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable piece that showcases Buytewech's exceptional talent. In this image, we see Mary Magdalene depicted as a sorrowful figure amidst the desolate wilderness. Her long hair cascades down her shoulders, emphasizing her vulnerability and grief. Completely nude, she stands as a symbol of purity and spiritual devotion. Buytewech's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching technique. The intricate lines beautifully capture the texture of Mary Magdalene's flowing locks and convey a sense of depth within the composition. As one gazes at this artwork, it becomes clear that religion plays a significant role in its narrative. Mary Magdalene is often associated with repentance and redemption within Christian tradition, making her portrayal here all the more poignant. The second state of three Hollstein prints adds further value to this print as it represents an important stage in Buytewech's artistic development. Overall, this stunning depiction invites viewers to reflect on themes such as faith, spirituality, and personal transformation. It serves as a testament to both Willem Pietersz. Buytewech's skillful craftsmanship and his ability to evoke deep emotions through visual storytelling.
