Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Investigations by Sara Penco stem from the insightful finding of the absence of a key figure in the Sistine Chapel's Last Judgement fresco. Prior to this illuminating research, Mary Magdalene was not unequivocally identified within Michelangelo's masterpiece. Father Pfeiffer, with whom Penco establishes an inescapable dialectic, had already hypothesised the presence of Mary Magdalene in the fresco, but it is the scholar, for the first time in these pages, who convincingly justifies her identification. Mary Magdalene is closely connected to the salient episodes in the life of Jesus. The author rightly wonders, therefore, how it is possible that a figure so central to the biblical narrative and the Christian imagination could have been excluded from the depiction of the Parousia. This observation gives rise to an accurate reflection on the iconography of the saint and the Judgement, in relation to the sacred texts and in relation to Michelangelo's poetics and production. Sara Penco traces Mary Magdalene in the tangle of figures on the wall behind the altar of the Sistine Chapel, contributing to characterise the fresco one of the best known and most appreciated works in the world with an unprecedented theological message. Text in English and Italian.

Rilegato. Condition: new. A cura di Graziano A. Traduzione di Laghi E. Testo Italiano e Inglese. Reggio Emilia, 2024; ril., pp. 280, ill. col., cm 24x29. L'indagine di Sara Penco muove dal perspicace riscontro dell'assenza di una figura chiave nell'affresco del Giudizio Universale in Cappella Sistina. Prima di questa illuminante ricerca, Maria Maddalena non era inequivocabilmente identificata all'interno del capolavoro di Michelangelo. Padre Pfeiffer, con cui la Penco istaura una dialettica imprescindibile, aveva già ipotizzato la presenza della Maddalena nell'affresco, ma è la studiosa, per la prima volta in queste pagine, a motivarne con convinzione l'identificazione. Maria Maddalena è strettamente connessa agli episodi salienti della vita di Gesù. L'autrice si domanda dunque, a ragione, come sia possibile che una figura così centrale del racconto biblico e dell'immaginario cristiano possa essere stata esclusa nella raffigurazione della Parusia. Da questa constatazione, nasce un'accurata riflessione sull'iconografia della santa e del Giudizio, in rapporto con i testi sacri e in relazione alla poetica e alla produzione di Michelangelo. Sara Penco rintraccia nel groviglio di figure sulla parete dietro l'altare della Cappella Sistina, Maria Maddalena, contribuendo a caratterizzare l'affresco - una delle opere più conosciute e apprezzate al mondo - di un inedito messaggio teologico.
