Donatello, Mary Magdalene, c. 1455
(piano music) Man: We're in the museum of the Duomo in Florence and we're looking at a Donatello. It's not marble.발음듣기
Mary Magdalene is shown as a hermit with her hands about to be clasped in prayer and she's old and wrinkled.발음듣기
Woman: The skin on her chest and neck, and her face look like the skin of an old woman. It's difficult to look at.발음듣기
Man: I think it's difficult because there is a whole series of contrast that we're not used to being shown in sculpture.발음듣기
When we see a woman by, for instance, Christ's feet with long red hair we know that's Mary Magdalene.발음듣기
There's something about the organic quality of wood and its frailty, it's ability to soften, to rot, that seems somehow appropriate here.발음듣기
Woman: Actually I'm amazed that it's in as good condition as it is given the fact that it's wood.발음듣기
You can see that long hair had been painted red and gold and there are traces of that, that are still left.발음듣기
There's a look on her face, which is so intense and yet at the same time almost as if she has left this earth already.발음듣기
Woman: I see this very much as part of Donatello's interest in the specifics of an individual, just like we saw with Habakkuk.발음듣기
This really intense specificity that's so different than the gothic and the medieval and deep sympathy for humanity that comes out of humanism of the early Renaissance.발음듣기
Her hands are so long and so elegant, they almost create a kind of cathedral as she brings them together.발음듣기
She is the figure that sees him crucified, that doesn't run away as so many of his followers did.발음듣기
Woman: And she's someone who makes a very direct choice to leave a worldly life, to leave a life of the sensuality of the world for the spiritual.발음듣기
Man: Think about how important that is as a message in Florence in the fifteenth century when you have a culture that has put enormous emphasis on material luxury, and here is somebody that functions as a conscience to the city.발음듣기
There is a willingness here to put front and center this spirituality and the symbolism of the figure as opposed to emphasizing the anatomical accuracy.발음듣기
Woman: Although she still stands in contropposto still there is that attention to the body that can only come from the early Renaissance.발음듣기
