Caravaggio - Michelangelo Merisi - Oil

Martha and Mary Magdalene (c. 1598) is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. It is in the Detroit Institute of Arts. Alternate titles include Martha Reproving Mary, The Conversion of the Magdalene. The painting shows the sisters Martha and Mary from the New Testament. In fact Martha's sister "Mary" in the Gospels is Mary of Bethany, but she was often confused with Mary Magdalene, hence the old title, which is not from the artist, but later. Martha is in the act of converting Mary from her life of pleasure to the life of virtue in Christ. Martha, her face shadowed, leans forward, passionately arguing with Mary, who twirls an orange blossom between her fingers as she holds a mirror, symbolising the vanity she is about to give up. The power of the image lies in Mary's face, caught at the moment when conversion begins.
