Description: | Held by the Virgin Mary, the infant Jesus offers St Catherine of Alexandria a ring, representing their symbolic marriage about which the saint had dreamt following her conversion to Christianity. In attendance are four female saints. The painting is a nineteenth-century copy of a older painting by a Northern Renaissance artist, and is typical of this school in its depiction of the figures, the drapery and the idealised landscape. Once thought to be after Rogier van der Weyden, the picture is a copy of a now lost painting by the Flemish artist Adrien Ysenbrandt (about 1550-1551). | Subjects: | figure; landscape; religion (Mystic Marriage of St Catherine) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Ysenbrandt, Adrien (Flemish painter, ca. 1500-before 1551) Æ Attributed to after Previously attributed to after Weyden, Rogier van der (Flemish painter, ca. 1399-1464) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8581... | Go to resource |
