        "description": "D\u00fcrer\u2019s woodcut of Mary Magdalene represents a popular subject in German art and is considered a schlechtes Holzwerk, a simple woodcut intended for a general audience. According to a medieval book of saints\u2019 lives known as the Golden Legend, Mary Magdalene spent the last 30 years of her life as a hermit outside of Marseilles, France, where she was miraculously borne aloft to heaven seven times a day to hear the choir of angels. Considered a fallen woman in her early life, Mary earned redemption through her complete devotion to Christ. During this period, D\u00fcrer was preoccupied with the laws of human proportion and the female figure. Mary Magdalene\u2019s powerful legs and widened hips are comparable to the female nudes in D\u00fcrer\u2019s The Dream of the Doctor and Adam and Eve.",
