SASSOFERRATO (1609-85)

The Mystic Marriage of St Catherine

c. 1650

RCIN 906084

Sassoferrato worked in a deliberately old-fashioned style, painting both copies of works by earlier artists, especially Raphael, and his own compositions. This is a study for an altarpiece now in the Wallace Collection, probably painted fora church in Genzano, outside Rome. It depicts a vision of St Catherine of Alexandria in which the Christ Child placed a ring on her finger, making her his spiritual bride. No. 135
