Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy was painted while the artist was in exile after being charged for murder. For Prof. Giulia Silvia Ghia, art historian, curator, and conservator, who was part of the painting’s restoration team, it is always exciting to find and identify works that have been considered lost.
