] * * * * * [Illustration: _Alinari_ ST. MARY MAGDALEN BAPTISTERY, FLORENCE] [Sidenote: The Magdalen and similar Statues. ] We have now to consider a group of rugged statues differing in datebut animated by the same motive, the Magdalen in Florence and threestatues of St. John the Baptist in Siena, Venice, and Berlin. Ofthese, the Magdalen in the Baptistery at Florence is the most typicaland the most uncompromising. She stands upright, a mass of tatteredrags, haggard, emaciated, almost toothles...s. Her matted hair falls downin thick knots; all feminine softness has gone from the limbs, andnothing but the drawn muscles remain. It is a thin wasted form, piteous in expression, painful in all its ascetic excess. The Magdalenhas, of course, been the subject of hostile criticism. It gives ashock, it inspires horror: it is an outrage on every well-clothed andprosperous sinner. [178] In point of fact, Donatello's summary methodof carving the wood has given a harshness and asperity to featureswhich in themselves are not displeasing.
