The Mystical Marriage of St. Catherine Poster
The Mystical Marriage of St. Catherine (Front of a Double-Sided Painted Panel) is a preparatory oil sketch created around 1627–1628 for the altarpiece of the Church of the Augustinians in Antwerp. This work depicts the symbolic spiritual union of Saint Catherine of Alexandria with the Christ Child, who crowns her with a laurel wreath representing purity and victory over evil, rather than the traditional ring. The composition features the Virgin Mary supporting the Christ Child, with Saint Catherine kneeling, and includes saints such as Saint Apollonia and Saint Margaret, along with cherubs holding symbolic attributes like flowers, martyr’s palm, and lightning bolts.
The painting is noteable for its rich colour, fluid brushwork, and balanced triangular composition, reflecting Italian Renaissance influences filtered through Rubens’s Baroque style. The presence of Saint Peter and an organ in the background remains a subject of scholarly discussion, possibly linked to the patron’s wishes. This sketch served as a vital step in Rubens’s preparation for the final altarpiece.

I hung this in the stairwell of our house, near some other Renoir pictures. My daughter says it looks like she is looking at her when she walks up the stairs.
it's called "The Excursionist", she is holding a walking stick. Renoir was an impressionist, I don't think this is an actual person. The finished framed picture arrived and looks better than the online pic - Beautiful!

Absolutely superb Art Deco poster. The colours are vibrant, sympathetic to the era and perfect for use. I framed it and hung above the entrance to my Art Deco inspired lounge room. Stunning! The print is precise, clear and of an excellent standard. It was cleverly packaged so there wasn’t a blemish or crease. Perfect!
