Description: | This painting is probably a late work made in the style of Giovanni Bellini. The half-length figures in the foreground with a landscape background are elements characteristic of Bellini's compositions. The figure of Saint Paul appears in other works by Bellini, such as the Pesaro Altarpiece. The subject of the Virgin and Child with saints is combined in this image with the Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine, who receives her wedding ring from the infant Christ. She is depicted holding the wheel with spikes on which she was tortured, according to Jacobus de Voragine's Golden Legend. | Subjects: | religion (Virgin and Child St Paul St Catherine) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bellini, Giovanni (Italian painter, born 1431-1436, died 1516) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8992... | Go to resource |
