The Marriage of St. Catherine 1625 - 1713

This etching, "The Marriage of St. Catherine," by Carlo Maratti, depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, who is offering a ring to St. Catherine. This engraving, made between 1625 and 1713, is in the style of Italian Baroque art, with dramatic lighting and strong figures. The composition is balanced, with the figures arranged in a triangular shape, and the use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism. This work is an example of Maratti's mastery of line and detail, creating a sense of gentle and intimate devotion.
