"Saint Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy, Supported by Two Angels" is a print by the Flemish artist Pieter de Bailliu, dating from 1625-1660. The print depicts Mary Magdalene in a state of religious ecstasy as she is supported by two angels. The scene is set in a cave, with a bright light emanating from the heavens. The work is a classic example of Baroque art, known for its dramatic use of light and shadow, and expressive figures. This engraving is now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY, and stands as a testament to the spiritual fervor of the Baroque era.
