Iconography in Paintings
Mary Magdalene’s hair
“No figure in the Christian Pantheon except Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and John the Baptist has inspired, provoked, or confounded the imagination of painters more than the Magdalene”
Robert Kiely
Through history, Mary Magdalene has always been depicted in arts, distictively from other female figures of the Bible, with long, lustrous, loose hair, sometimes using it to cover her nakedness.
This singularity is due to the interpretation that she was a prostitute, as in those times, the only women who wore their hair loose, and especially long, in public were prostitutes, as it was considered scandalous and the others used to always hide it beneath headdresses or scarves.
Also, in the Bible, the detail of this character wearing her hair this particular way is specified when she washed Jesus feet with the tears from her sins, and then proceeded to dry them with her hair.
