Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (Italian, 1571-1610)
Mary Magdalen in Ecstasy
1606
Oil on canvas (103,5 x 91,5 cm)
Private collection
According to a legend popular in Caravaggio's time, after Christ's death his faithful female disciple Mary of Magdala moved to southern France, where she lived as a hermit in a cave at Sainte-Baume near Aix-en-Provence. There she was transported seven times a day by angels into the presence of God, "where she heard, with her bodily ears, the delightful harmonies of the celestial choirs." Earlier artists had depicted Mary ascending into the divine presence through multicoloured clouds accompanied by angels; Caravaggio made the supernatural an entirely interior experience, with the Magdalen alone against a featureless dark background, caught in a ray of intense light, her head lolling back and eyes stained with tears. This revolutionary naturalistic interpretation of the legend also allowed him to capture the ambiguous parallel between mystical and erotic love, in Mary's semi-reclining posture and bared shoulder. The painting was immensely influential for future treatment of the theme by artists such as Rubens and Simon Vouet (who adopted Carvaggio's earth-bound Magdalen but reintroduced the angels), and of Bernini's celebrated Ecstasy of St. Theresa.

Warum ist #Maria die Patronin Bayerns?
#Bayern und die #Gottesmutter – eine besondere
Verbindung, die bis heute spürbar ist. Doch warum wird
Maria als Schutzpatronin des Freistaats verehrt?
🔵 Seit Jahrhunderten vertrauen die Bayern Maria ihren
Glauben und ihr Land an. Ihre Statue thront auf dem
Münchner Marienplatz, zahlreiche Kathedralen in
unserem Bundesland sind ihr geweiht.
🔵 1616/38 weihte Maximilian I. Bayern offiziell der Gottesmutter, um Schutz
und Segen für das Land zu erbitten.
🔵 Ob Altötting, Andechs oder Maria Vesperbild – überall pilgern Gläubige zu ihr, um Trost und Hilfe zu finden.
🔵 Von Mariä Lichtmess über Mariä Himmelfahrt bis zum
Patrona-Bavariae-Tag - Bayern ist Marienland!
Maria bleibt die große Fürsprecherin Bayerns
– eine Mutter, die mit Liebe über das Land
wacht. Patrona Bavariae, bitte für uns!

Ex Voto Via Ca' Selvatica
In 1855 there was a cholera outbreak in Bologna. There were about 70,000 people living in the city with tens to hundreds of people being affected by cholera every day. (On the 12 July there were 169 cases alone registered)
The plaque reads:
"Addi' 22 luglio 1855
In questa via cesso' il morbo cholera
Per grazie di Maria"
On the day of the 22nd of July 1855
In this street, cholera was halted
Thanks to Mary.
Back in the good old days when you'd erect a monument after a pandemic - instead of letting RF "a worm ate my brain" Kennedy Jr. become a health secretary.

[10:31] Troost voor een moeder door smart bevangen | column Wim Beekman
Geen religieuze tekst is zo vaak op muziek gezet als het middeleeuwse Stabat Mater. Ruim driehonderd componisten hebben dit lijdensverhaal van Jezus, gezien door de ogen van zijn moeder Maria, laten klinken. Kwetsbaar, intiem, en hartverscheurend.
