(6) Juana as Mary Magdalen

El Jardín de las Delicias/The Garden of Delights portrays two women as Mary Magdalen, probably Juana la Loca and Margaret of Austria. Juana’s sister Catherine of Aragon had already been painted as the Magdalen with the more conventional attributes of glamorous clothes and an ointment jar to identify her. The hair that entirely covers both women is likely based on the Nuremberg Chronicle, which was also a source for the outside panels. The print titled Magdalena Poenitens is one of several pictures by Bruegel that includes a more easy-to-decipher version of something from El Jardín de las Delicias/The Garden of Delights.
