Antique Italian painting from the second half of the 18th century. Oil on canvas artwork depicting a religious subject, antique copy by Correggio (1489-1534), Mystical Marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. A painting of great size and impact, finely crafted in the smallest details, from the ring held in Jesus' right hand, to the hair of the characters and the splendid clothes. The faces and hands of the characters are delightful (see photo).
