[1][2][3] Mary Magdalene was a subject painted by countless artists both Greek and Italian.

Famous Venetian painter Titian created multiple paintings of Mary Magdalene.

He began his career in Antwerp but finally migrated to Venice with his son and brother.

His engravings inspired countless Greek painters namely Theodore Poulakis, Demetrios Stavrakis and Tzanes.

Tzanes stayed loyal to the Greek style but integrated the Flemish prototype.

Mary Magdalene is part of the collection of the Hellenic Institute in Venice, Italy.

Tzanes adopted some of the components in his painting from Sadeler's work namely the ointment jar and the coffin in the foreground.

In the foreground, an ointment jar and an empty tomb appear with a holy towel resting on its side.

Mary’s flesh tones and facial features blend adequately delivering the painter's desired result.

Her garment features striation folds of fabric, clear lines, groves, and unshapely form.

The crosses symbolize the crucifixion and the important role Magdalene played in the series of events.

The painting finally became part of the official collection of the Hellenic Institute of Venice after the 1950s.
