École Italienne (XVII) - Sainte Catherine d'Alexandrie

- Oil on copper sheet. Exquisite technique.

- This Saint Catherine of Alexandria, depicted on copper with the vibrant palette of mid-17th-century Italy, rises as an epitome of sovereign grace before sacrifice, reminding us why she has been celebrated as the most beautiful of the martyrs. Her figure, wrapped in a crimson red of almost heraldic intensity, stands out against a landscape that fades into the distance, while her long golden mane flows with the same freedom as her unyielding spirit. The right hand delicately holds the palm of martyrdom, a symbol of victory that seems more a scepter than an instrument of pain, while the left rests on the sword of her execution, transforming the steel into an attribute of celestial majesty. Under the halo crowning her head with a warm and perpetual light, her serene and slightly angled gaze captures that blend of sweetness and theological resolve that challenged the sages of Maximian, offering the viewer not only the effigy of a saint but a vision of transcendental beauty where earthly suffering is eclipsed by the immanence of faith.

- Image dimensions without frame: 12 x 12.5 cm / 33 x 33 cm with exclusive custom frame.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit granted by the Ministry of Culture. While this is an administrative procedure, it is indispensable to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free international circulation.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and irrepeatable works of art, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every acquisition, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate confirms that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify authorship, origin, and condition. The Certificate of Guarantee includes full details about the piece, such as author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued upon client request, providing an official reference for the acquired piece.

We are committed to the satisfaction and confidence of our clients, so any questions about authenticity or the condition of the work will be addressed professionally and diligently. To request your Certificate of Guarantee, please contact us through our usual channels.

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each piece arrives at its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To that end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to changes depending on various circumstances. These include variations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances such as fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments to customs and import tariffs. The final shipping price will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed in advance before proceeding with shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client's needs and ensuring that the artwork reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the work by a third party or by the seller, so it is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at the recipient's home, it can be displayed immediately on the wall. Consequently, frame damage that does not affect the integrity of the work will not be accepted as a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation.
