# Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [FONTANA, Lavinia]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 80 x 65,5 cm ## Commentary This is the first woman painter officially recognized in the Uffizi Gallery. Her painting is serene, lacking excesses of any kind, either in the construction of forms or the creation of impressive luministic effects, so popular with other painters of her time. She was realistic as much as was necessary, modern as much as was necessary and conformist as much as was necessary. This was only natural, however, since she lived peacefully at home, dividing her time between the loving care of her family and her interest for painting. ## Related artworks - [Apollo and the Muses \(Parnassus\)]() - [Family Portrait]() - [Head of a Youth]() - [Judith with the Head of Holofernes]() - [Minerva Dressing]() - [Minerva Dressing]() - [Portrait of a Girl]() - [Portrait of a Lady]() - [Portrait of a Newborn in a Cradle]() - [Portrait of a Noblewoman]() - [Portrait of a Notary]() - [Portrait of Antonietta Gonzalez]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
