San Domenico and Santa Caterina

This beautiful painting dating to the 18th century, represents Saint Dominic and Saint Catherine, the former characterized by the lilly, who are kneeling in front of the Virgin Mary carrying Baby Jesus, and offering a rosary to Saint Catherine. The delicate tones of the composition create a fascinating play of backlight, visible in the large and bright cloud that surrounds the Virgin Mary. Also the delicate features indicate that the artist, unfortunately unknown, was a skilled painter, his touch gentle and firm.
