The Kimbell Art Museum announced on Friday that it has acquired a long-lost 17th-century painting depicting the Christian saint Mary Magdalene. For perhaps the first time since its creation, the work will be on public view, starting today in the Fort Worth museum’s Louis I. Kahn building.

The painting, called Penitent Mary Magdalene, was made by Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi around 1625. It was acquired by a Spanish nobleman in Rome who later displayed it in his Seville residence, where, according to 17th-century sources, it became famous and was widely copied, the museum said in a news release. It later disappeared from the public record before resurfacing at an auction in France in 2001.
