EDITORS COMMENTS
In this pen and ink drawing titled "Mary Magdalene at the door of Simon the Pharisee". Dante Gabriel Charles Rossetti transports us to a moment of profound emotion and spiritual introspection. Created between 1853-9, this artwork showcases Rossetti's mastery in capturing intricate details and evoking powerful narratives. The scene unfolds as Mary Magdalene, a prominent figure in biblical history, stands at the threshold of Simon the Pharisee's door. Her delicate features are beautifully rendered, highlighting her vulnerability and inner strength. The artist skillfully portrays her flowing hair cascading down her shoulders, symbolizing both sensuality and repentance. Rossetti's signature Pre-Raphaelite style is evident in every stroke of his pen. The meticulous attention to detail brings life to each element within the composition - from Mary's expressive eyes filled with longing to the subtle play of light on her face. The presence of a fawn by Mary's side adds an intriguing layer of symbolism. Often associated with innocence and purity, it suggests that even amidst societal judgment or religious hypocrisy, redemption can be found through genuine faith. Housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, this remarkable piece invites viewers into a world where spirituality intertwines with human experiences. Through its timeless beauty and thought-provoking narrative, Rossetti's "Mary Magdalene at the door of Simon the Pharisee" continues to captivate audiences today as much as it did
