Mystic Marriage Of Saint Catherine (Correggio, Washington)
''Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine'' or ''Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine with Saints'' is a c.1510-1511 oil on canvas painting by Correggio, now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Its central group is a Metterza, with Catherine of Alexandria kneeling before them and saints Francis of Assisi and Dominic to either side. The work first appears in the written record as part of the collection of count Giovanni Battista Costabili Containi (m. 1841) in Ferrara and it remained in the hands of his heirs until at least 1858. The attribution to Correggio was first popularised by Giovanni Morelli, who saw the work in 1875 while it was still in Ferrara, though local scholars had already made such an attribution, placing it in the artist's youth. Damage to the paint surface, especially in the area of the mantle and the faces of the Virgin Mary and Saint Anne, was already mentioned in the late 19th century. It was recorded as owned by doctor Gustavo Frizzoni in Milan in 1877 b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Giovanni Morelli
Giovanni Morelli (25 February 1816 – 28 February 1891) was an Italian art critic and political figure. As an art historian, he developed the "Morellian" technique of scholarship, identifying the characteristic "hands" of painters through scrutiny of diagnostic minor details that revealed artists' scarcely conscious shorthand and conventions for portraying, for example, ears. He was born in Verona and died in Milan. Early life and training Morelli studied medicine in Switzerland and Germany, where he taught anatomy at the University of Munich. During this time he also studied Goethe's morphology, Lavater's physiognomy, F. Schelling's natural philosophy and befriended Bettina von Arnim. With his return to Italy he acted as a conduit for intellectual life of the North. Art historian The Morellian method The Morellian method is based on clues offered by trifling details rather than identities of composition and subject matter or other broad treatments that are more l ...
