hey guys, i thought u guys would be knowledgeable about this

Mary Magdalene and his mum Mary

the woman in blue is mary. the woman in red is mary magdelen, the woman who washed jesus' feet with her hair.

depending on which book of the bible you read the first mary could be his mother, or the mother of james and joseph, but since she's wearing blue, she's more likely mary, jesus' mother, in this pic.

the other mary can be jesus' mother's relative, also called mary, but since her hair is down and she is wearing red, it's likely mary magdelene.

tl;dr- >>7831550 is the most likely answer but it's not always the case since there's many marys to choose from for this scene.

Yes what the other two said. I seem to remember hearing that if a Renaissance painting depicted a figure with gold around their head it means they're a Saint of some sort, basically they won't just be nuns.

>gold around their head
You mean a fucking halo? Was this sort of thing not part of general education for you guys?
