"The Mystic Marriage of St. Catherine" is a notable work by the Italian painter Alessandro Varotari, commonly known as Padovanino, after his place of origin, Padua. This painting, executed in the early 17th century, is a representation of a popular religious theme in Christian art, depicting the mystical wedding of Saint Catherine of Alexandria to Jesus Christ, symbolizing her spiritual commitment to Christianity and her virginity.

Padovanino, born in 1588 and active during the Venetian Renaissance, was known for his rich color palette and influence from the Venetian masters, particularly Titian. His rendition of "The Mystic Marriage of St. Catherine" is characterized by its vibrant colors, detailed depiction of the figures, and the use of light to create a sense of depth and volume. The painting typically shows the infant Jesus, seated on the Virgin Mary's lap, placing a ring on Saint Catherine's finger, often in the presence of saints and angels.

The work is significant for its artistic merit and as an example of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on mystical and emotional religious experiences, which were often depicted in the visual arts to inspire devotion among the faithful. Padovanino's interpretation of this mystical event showcases his skill in blending the spiritual with the sensual, a hallmark of the late Mannerist style transitioning into the Baroque period.

"The Mystic Marriage of St. Catherine" by Padovanino is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and its representation of religious iconography. It remains an important piece for the study of Venetian painting and the artist's oeuvre. The painting can be found in various art historical texts and is featured in museum collections that focus on Italian Renaissance art.
