Magdalena is an unspecified by Gheorghe Tattarescu, depicting Mary Magdalene, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
You see a woman in a dark room, her face lit by a single candle. She wears a plain brown dress and looks down, hands folded. No one knows who painted it or when. The light on her face feels real—soft, like it’s coming from a real flame. The rest of the room fades into shadow, making her the only clear thing in the picture. Look up *chiaroscuro*—how artists use light and dark to shape a scene.
