"The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, with angels and cherubim, en grisaille" is a notable artwork by the Italian painter Donato Creti, who was active during the Baroque period. This painting is particularly significant for its use of the grisaille technique, a method of painting entirely in shades of grey or another neutral greyish color, to simulate the appearance of sculpture. The work depicts the mystical marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a Christian saint and virgin, who was martyred in the early 4th century.

In the painting, Saint Catherine is traditionally shown receiving a wedding ring from the infant Jesus, symbolizing her spiritual betrothal to Christ. The presence of angels and cherubim adds to the celestial and divine atmosphere of the scene, emphasizing the sanctity of the mystical marriage. Creti's mastery in rendering the figures in grisaille showcases his skill in creating the illusion of three-dimensional forms on a two-dimensional surface.

Donato Creti (1671–1749) was an accomplished painter from Bologna, known for his religious compositions, mythological scenes, and astronomical observations rendered in art. His work often reflects the transition from the Baroque to the Rococo style, and he is praised for his refined use of color and light. "The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, with angels and cherubim, en grisaille" is a testament to Creti's artistic abilities and his contribution to the Baroque tradition.

This painting not only represents an important religious narrative but also serves as an example of the artistic techniques and themes prevalent in the early 18th century. It holds a place in the history of art as an illustration of the continued relevance of saintly iconography in Baroque art and the innovative use of grisaille to achieve a sculptural effect. The artwork is an essential piece for understanding the oeuvre of Donato Creti and the broader context of Italian Baroque painting.
