The Museu del Cau Ferrat in Sitges is highlighting El Greco’s 'Magdalena penitent', a c. 1590 oil on canvas now identified in the museum’s collection. The work is listed with the dimensions 104.8 by 92.3 cm, according to the museum’s source material.
The museum’s notice presents the painting as part of the Cau Ferrat collection rather than as a temporary loan or exhibition item. No accompanying exhibition dates or event schedule were provided, and the available material focuses on the artwork itself.
' Magdalena penitent' belongs to a subject El Greco returned to in different forms: the penitent Mary Magdalene. In this case, the museum’s documentation gives the work’s approximate date and medium but does not supply additional interpretive text, provenance details or display context.
Museu del Cau Ferrat is one of the institutions under Museus de Sitges, the museum network based in the coastal town of Sitges, Spain. The posting therefore serves as a collection note from the museum rather than a broader program announcement.
The work’s scale, medium and attribution are the key verified details provided. Beyond that, the source material does not specify the painting’s gallery location, acquisition history, or whether it is currently on view to the public.
