Saint Mary of Egypt (1800). Jean-Baptiste Greuze (French, 1725-1805). Oil on canvas. Chrysler Museum of Art.
Mary of Egypt is slumped over in a desert cave. She reads, repenting her sins while holding a cross to her chest. A lion, looking as sorrowful as she, attends her. It is Greuze’s last major commission, painted for Napoleon Bonaparte’s brother Lucien. Once famed for his scenes of everyday French life, Greuze was now penniless and alone. The sorrowing Mary and equally mournful lion—a saintly attribute that, according to legend, helped dig her grave—may mirror the anguish of Greuze’s own final years.
