The “mystical marriage” of Saint Catherine and Christ is a theme which developed from the end of the Middle Ages and enjoyed great success with the greatest painters.
The child Christ, on his mother's knees, is about to put a ring on the finger of the holy martyr. This one, with half-closed eyes, devoted, is crowned.
The viewer can be struck by the tenderness that emerges from this painting, it floods the faces of Mary and Saint Catherine, it is felt in the looks.
The painting of great finesse, a lot of delicacy in the colors offers us a work full of serenity.
