École de Majorque (XIX) - Portrait de Soeur Magdalena Pujol

Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Carefully staged mystical atmosphere typical of convent surroundings. Plaque with biographical details of the nun. This canvas emerges from the severe and withdrawn Palmesan enclosure of the mid-19th century as the visual testament of a soul who spent her days in voluntary oblivion of the century. Framed by the strict monastic geometry, the religious figure poses with the incorrupt gravity of someone who has already crossed the threshold of the earthly, flanked by the inescapable attributes of mystical meditation and the memento mori: the suffering crucifix, the skull reminding of the caducity of the flesh, and the devotional book held by ex-voto hands accustomed to the silence of the choir. Curiously, this last portrait, executed in 1859, contains a subtle and moving human contradiction: the permission granted to late vanity to fix traits before the dust claims its part. A few months after seeing her likeness rendered on the canvas—as a final and fleeting anchor to terrestrial identity before dissolving definitively into the eternity of the cloister—the nun surrendered her soul to the Creator, allowing this painting to remain forever as the mute echo of a closure as impenetrable as it is pious.
