The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine of Siena
1459
The panel shows a kneeling saint in white and black with a veil, receiving a blessing from a bearded man in pale blue as a group of saints with gilded halos look on from both sides, all arranged above a richly patterned bed and ornate canopy. The composition is ceremonial and hierarchical, with a strong vertical emphasis on the central figures and a crowded, witnesses-filled space that feels decorative rather than naturalistic. The color scheme centers on gold and warm earth tones, with luminous blues and whites, and the figures are outlined in delicate lines in the Sienese Gothic style, conveying a formal, devotional mood.
