## Commentary

Mary Magdalene at the Foot of the Cross c. 1670 Oil on canvas Santa Teresa, Venice Langetti, a Genoese artist, produced a number of tempestuously dramatic paintings. The tragic intensity of his figures reflects the rather gloomy and melodramatic atmosphere of later seventeenth-century painting.
