Marriage of St Catherine 1624 - 1659

This drawing, "Marriage of St Catherine," was created by Italian Baroque artist Valerio Castello between 1624 and 1659. Castello, known for his expressive use of line and dynamic compositions, presents a preparatory sketch for a larger painting. The drawing, executed in pen and brown wash on paper, depicts the marriage of Saint Catherine to Christ, a popular subject in Renaissance and Baroque art. This depiction, featuring a dynamic and lively group, is a testament to Castello's skill as a draftsman and the study behind his masterful compositions. The work is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
