Waldemar Januszczak explores the impact of Mary Magdalene's myth on art and artists. All saints in art are inventions, but no saint in art has been invented quite as furiously as Mary Magdalene. For a thousand years, artists have been throwing themselves at the task of describing her and telling her story, from Caravaggio to Cezanne, Rubens to Rembrandt, Titian to van Gogh. 　　Her identity has evolved from being the close follower of Jesus who was the first witness to his resurrection, to one of a prostitute and sinner who escaped from persecution in the Holy Land by fleeing across the Mediterranean to wind up living in a cave as a hermit in the south of France, enjoying ecstatic experiences with Christ. 　　译文(3): Waldemar Januszczak探讨了抹大拉的玛丽神话对艺术和艺术家的影响。所有艺术上的圣人都是发明，但没有哪个艺术上的圣徒像抹大拉的玛丽那样被疯狂地发明。一千年来，艺术家们一直致力于描述她并讲述她的故事，从卡拉瓦乔到塞尚，从鲁本斯到伦勃朗，从提香到梵高。
