Antique oil painting on canvas depicting the mystical marriage of Saint Catherine. Naples 18th century.

Description: Antique oil painting on canvas depicting the mystical marriage of Saint Catherine. The work is rich in iconographic inventions and tuned to full-bodied and bright colors, with effects of great preciousness. The mystical marriage of Saint Catherine, to whom the Child, held by Mary in a dazzling red dress with blue trim, is inserting the wedding ring. Catherine's status as the bride of Jesus is evidenced by the sumptuous dress, with huge puffed sleeves, and the magnificence of the jewels worn, including a complex hairstyle, a string of pearls with ruby pendant and drop pearl earrings. Attending the scene is an angel with a penetrating frontal portrait, with an expressive use of hands. The style is the artist's happiest, with large planes of intense color, complex spatial relationships, overabundant drapery and serene atmospheres, accompanied by a refined taste for detail.
