Painting Ecstasy of Saint Catherine of Siena
Description:
Oil on canvas. Tuscan school of the 17th century. The Saint is traditionally dressed in the Dominican habit, with the crown of thorns on her head and, at her feet, a lily, a skull, and a prayer book; unconscious in mystical ecstasy, she is supported by two angels while Jesus is taking her heart, indicating the saint's total devotion to Christ. Although the scene is depicted outdoors, an imposing Baroque structure appears in the background, a symbol of the temple as a place of prayer. The mystical ecstasy of Saint Catherine has been widely represented: this version derives from a work by Francesco Vanini (1563 -1610), of which there are many antique copies. The work, on its original canvas and with small color losses along the edges, is presented in a period-style frame.
