The Ecstasy of Saint Catherine of Siena

1530s

Saint Catherine of Siena is depicted seated in a pale robe with a white veil and a dark outer mantle, her head bowed and eyes closed as two winged figures lean toward her. Above her, a celestial vision unfolds with angels against a blue sky, framed by a window-like arch and columns that overlook a distant landscape. The palette combines muted earth tones, pale flesh colors, whites, and deep blacks, with soft, rounded modeling and a serene, devotional mood typical of Il Sodoma’s early 16th‑century style.
