Paolo Veronese's "Mystic Marriage of St Catherine" (1547) depicts a scene of religious significance. The central figure is St Catherine, receiving a ring from the Christ Child, symbolizing her mystical marriage. The Virgin Mary, with the infant Jesus, observes the scene with an air of solemnity. The composition includes a landscape background, highlighting the serenity of the event. This oil-on-canvas painting is a fine example of Veronese's mastery of color and detail, showcasing the vibrant Renaissance style. The artwork is currently housed at the Yale University Art Gallery.
