About the Item

Magnificent 17th-century Italian painting. Oil on canvas artwork depicting a rare religious subject, Christ Appearing to Saint Catherine of Siena, recognizable by her white dress and black cloak of the Dominican order. Patron saint of Italy and Europe, she is one of the most extraordinary figures of the Middle Ages. She was the subject of ecstatic visions and carried out a political and religious mission, influencing popes and sovereigns. She is venerated for her profound mystical union with Christ and is often depicted at his side, as in this case. Jesus takes the Saint's hand in a gesture that conveys a strong sense of spiritual intimacy, while the woman's gaze expresses devotion and total abandonment to divine will. Stylistically, the artwork exhibits characteristics typical of 17th-century central-northern Italian painting, with chiaroscuro influences derived from Caravaggism. A monumental painting, ideal for stately spaces, suitable for large classical or contemporary rooms. Perfect for collectors of high-quality sacred art, but also for anyone wishing to bring a painting that combines historical value and intense spirituality into their home. Spectacular 19th-century frame in finely carved, lacquered, and gilded wood with floral motifs, showing some signs of aging. The painting has already been restored with re-lining, replacement of the stretcher, and restoration of the color in some areas. Overall in good condition. Internal dimensions: H 166 x W 108 cm.
