Sfânta Magdalena is a 1618 by Guido Reni, a Baroque work, depicting Mary Magdalene, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
The painting shows a woman, likely Mary Magdalene, in a quiet moment. She's dressed simply and looks thoughtful. The artist used simple lines and gentle curves to create this image. The woman's face is the focus of the painting. Her expression is calm and introspective, which draws the viewer in. This kind of focus on a single figure was common in the Baroque period.

Guido Reni was an Italian Baroque painter, although his works showed a classical manner, similar to Simon Vouet, Nicolas Poussin, and Philippe de Champaigne.
