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.
