Navolger Antonio da Correggio (XVII-XVIII) - Italiaanse school (XVII) - Het mystieke

A beautiful 17th-century oil painting on a wooden panel, depicting "The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria." This work is a refined Baroque interpretation by a skilled master from the Italian school (17th century), directly inspired by the famous compositions and the stylistic language of the Renaissance great Antonio da Correggio.
Style, technique and dating:
The work breathes the typical atmosphere of the Parma School and early Italian Baroque. The flowing transitions, soft facial features, and the subtle use of chiaroscuro (light-dark contrast) demonstrate that the painter has thoroughly studied Correggio's technique.
The back of the wooden panel bears significant age.
The painting is presented in an impressive and richly gilt Baroque frame with voluptuous carving, perfectly complementing the classical appearance of the artwork.
