Reseña del libro "Mary Magdalene in Michelangelo's Judgement (en Inglés)"
Reveals the fresco of The Last Judgement in every detail thanks to astonishing ultra-high gigapixel photography. The 1:1 ratio to the Chapel’s frescoes allows reader to see the work of art as Michelangelo himself would have painted it from the scaffolding at the top of the Chapel. Text in English and Italian.
Investigations by Sara Penco stem from the insightful finding of the absence of a key figure in the Sistine Chapel’s Last Judgement fresco. Prior to this illuminating research, Mary Magdalene was not unequivocally identified within Michelangelo’s masterpiece. Father Pfeiffer, with whom Penco establishes an inescapable dialectic, had already hypothesized the presence of Mary Magdalene in the fresco, but it is the scholar, for the first time in these pages, who convincingly justifies her identification. Mary Magdalene is closely connected to the salient episodes in the life of Jesus. The author rightly wonders, therefore, how it is possible that a figure so central to the biblical narrative and the Christian imagination could have been excluded from the depiction of the Parousia. This observation gives rise to an accurate reflection on the iconography of the saint and the Judgement, in relation to the sacred texts and in relation to Michelangelo’s poetics and production. Sara Penco traces Mary Magdalene in the tangle of figures on the wall behind the altar of the Sistine Chapel, contributing to characterize the fresco - one of the best known and most appreciated works in the world - with an unprecedented theological message.
