NOZZE MISTICHE DI SANTA CATERINA BY LOTTO

2.34

In room sixteen, the first work I suggest you take a look at is a painting by Lorenzo Lotto: “Nozze mistiche di Santa Caterina” (The Mystical Marriage of Saint Catherine).

It was painted in 1523 for the merchant from Bergamo Niccolò Bonghi, the man in sixteenth-century dress on the left side of the painting, characterized by the impressively bright colors of the central group, marked by a certain restlessness. The scene shows the symbolic marriage between Jesus, who as you can see is handing over a ring, and Saint Catherine of Alexandria, who died a martyr because she refused to marry, saying she was already married to Christ.
