The “Maddalena”: a treasure in the Cathedral of Arezzo
Piero della Francesca's "Maddalena," a Renaissance masterpiece, highlights a period of artistic and cultural innovation between 1459 and 1466. Reflecting Piero's creative culmination, the work explores perspective and lighting, underscoring its art-historical importance and influence on future generations. Located in the Cathedral of San Donato in Arezzo, "Magdalene" enters into dialogue with the spiritual and artistic context of the cathedral, embodying Piero's intention to harmonize it with a broader narrative and traditional context, thus succeeding in enriching the complexity of the work far beyond its aesthetic value.
