Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine Painting

Oil on chestnut panel. Central European school of the 16th century. The traditional scene depicts the Child Jesus, in the arms of the Mother with whom he exchanges a tender glance, preparing to slip the wedding ring on the finger of Catherine of Alexandria, a symbol of the mystical marriage that the young saint wanted to contract with the Divine Child. The saint is depicted, as per her usual iconography, with a crown on her head and dressed in royal clothes and jewels, to emphasize her princely origin. The painting is probably the work of a Flemish author who looks to the Italian models of the 15th-16th centuries. The panel shows signs of previous restoration.
