Donatello's Mary Magdalene

 

A surprise: while visiting the little-known museum behind the Duomo in Florence I was taken aback by this sculpture by Donatello. I really like his "David". But this is haunting. It is grief, it is guilt, it is amazing. This is wood carving. He also did a crucifix in a church near the central plaza which has great emotion.
