The Assumption of Mary Magdalene

Meester S, c. 1530

Two scenes from the life of Mary Magdalene have been depicted in a beautiful ornamental border. At the top the former sinner preaches to penitent followers. In the middle the near-nude saint is being borne to heaven by angels, while a kneeling priest and three animals look on.
