Wrong title?
[edit]Regarding this image:
It is listed here as "Solutitude" but many other reputable websites such as the New York Public Library[1] and the Library of Congress[2] label it as "Mary Magdalen at Tomb of our Savior". So is it an alternative title or what is going on? I was going to change the title, but wanted someone with more knowledge to explain first before I touched anything.

- It seems that the location (Cantor Arts Center, Stanford, California) is incorrect; the Cantor Arts Center has a nearly identical version of this painting, which they title Penitent Magdalene, but it's signed at lower right (this one is signed at lower left), and differs in minor details. The NYPL and LoC links you found show a postcard reproduction of yet another version that was in the Metropolitan Museum of Art at one time but was evidently deaccessioned. That version is also signed lower right. The postcard has the title "Mary Magdalen at Tomb of our Savior", but that may not be the official title, as an antique postcard is not a reliable source.
- The file documentation in Commons says the painting is in a private collection, location unknown, and it appears that the title Solitude is also unsourced. I think the best course is to change it to Penitent Magdalene since this and the Stanford painting are essentially identical. Ewulp (talk) 04:00, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
