Andrea de Mena (Málaga, 1654 - possibly 1710), Important and large Magdalena Penitente, Andalusian baroque school of the 17th century
Measurements: 100 x 38 x 22 cm. Andrea de Mena (1654-c. 1710) was a Baroque sculptor, daughter of the universally known precursor of Andalusian Rococo imagery Pedro de Mena. Trained in her father's workshop, she would later enter the Cistercian abbey of Recoletas Bernardas de Santa Ana in Malaga in 1672, where years later Juana Teresa, the youngest of her sisters, would also enter. There are very few works by this extraordinary female artist that are preserved today, in the convent of Santa Ana itself the candlestick images of Saint Benedict and Saint Bernard (circa 1680) are preserved, which can be assigned to the work of the two sisters. The Hispanic Society of New York owns two small busts of Ecce Homo and Mater Dolorosa (1675) signed by Andrea. The four sculptures mentioned follow the paternal models with a more precious treatment.
