[1] It is unknown when he painted the Mystic Marriage; 1480 seems a probable date according to tree ring analysis. Fra Bartolommeo has done as much for St. Catherine of Siena. Nothing could be more piquant than this contrast, spared by an infinite art. The innocence of the virgin mingles with the blessedness of the saint on the figure of St. Catherine. Translated By Nicolae Sfetcu from the book “Louvre Museum”, by Armand Dayot, The Louvre Museum is the largest of the world’s art museums by its exhibition surface.
