The Temptation of Saint Mary Magdalen ca. 1626 Johann Liss Born in northern Germany but active in Amsterdam, Rome, and Venice, Liss synthesized Rubens, Caravaggio, Bernini, and Titian, evolving a style that virtually encapsulates what we refer to today as baroque. Liss probably executed this painting in Venice. The reformed prostitute Mary Magdalen is shown rejecting the worlds riches—represented by the dark-skinned, turbaned figure—in favor of an angel who bears the palm of victory. Her back-tilted head, half-closed eyes, and exposed breasts merge with the lush paint handling in an almost shocking eroticism. Only around thirty works by Liss are known, of which this is one of the most important.. The Temptation of Saint Mary Magdalen. Johann Liss (German, Oldenburg ca. 1595/1600-1631 Verona). ca. 1626.
