Saint Catherine in her room

Carlo Preda1694

Sforzesco Castle

Sforzesco Castle
Milan, Italy

This
  canvas, together with St. Catherine
  Visited in Prison by the Empress Faustina, adorned the church of Santa
  Caterina di Brera in Milan, demolished in 1786. Thanks to the publication of
  the preparatory drawing, both works could be attributed to Carlo Preda who at
  that time often came to Lombardy for religious commissions.
  The painting’s composition is typical of the seventeenth
  century, updated with elements from Late Baroque painting from Genoa and
  compelling chromatic solutions that characterise the surfaces.
