A 17th century painting of Mary Magdalene, (perhaps 1633) controvertibly attributed to Anthony van Dyck. From 1621 to 1627 van Dyck worked in Italy, and this painting shows the influence of Guido Reni, particularly Reni's Mater Dolorosa.
In April of 1632 van Dyck returned to London, was taken under the wing of the court of King Charles, and knighted. He was provided a house on the river at Blackfriars, and a suite of rooms in Eltham Palace, no longer used by the Royal family, as a country retreat.
The painting was once part of a larger canvas, but this portion was cut out, supposedly because of reports of strange movements in the figure, in the eyes and mouth, and its heavy sighs. Some have suggested it may have been painted at Eltham, as the painting sometimes whispers this name. It is reportedly haunted by the model who posed for it, who assumed a deep communion with the idea of Mary Magdalene while she posed. This haunting painting supposedly hung in a church somewhere in England, but its vocal tendencies and occasional side glances, caused it to be deassecioned. It was sold at an English auction in 2006, and was then quickly sold again on ebay, arriving to the United States. The spirit seems placated and sometimes sings sorrowfully, which has been recorded.
This clip captures a distinct eye movement; no singing was heard at this time.
