Description
16th Century Spanish Master - Monumental Santa Catalina
Carved and polychromed wood. Dimensions: 148 x 77 x 57 cm. The sculpture depicts the Virgin standing, with a serene and melancholic expression, wearing a polychrome cloak in vivid and golden tones that enriches the figure's monumentality. The anatomical treatment of the face and hands reveals delicate modeling, while the folds of the drapery, rendered with realism and volume, accentuate the Baroque theatricality. The work is part of 17th-century Spanish imagery, linked to the Counter-Reformation spirit, and constitutes a prominent example of Marian devotion in the sculptural tradition of the period.
