"The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, with Saint Joseph, Saint Dorothea, and the Infant Saint John the Baptist" is a Baroque painting by Flemish artist Jan van Balen, created in the 17th century. This artwork is renowned for its intricate depiction of a mystical marriage—a theme popular in Christian art during the Baroque period, symbolizing the union of a saint with Christ. In this painting, Saint Catherine of Alexandria is depicted receiving a wedding ring from the infant Jesus, signifying her spiritual betrothal to him, a common motif in artworks depicting her life.

The painting also features Saint Joseph, Saint Dorothea, and the Infant Saint John the Baptist, each characterized by attributes that identify their iconography. Saint Joseph is typically shown with a flowering staff or carpenter's tools, Saint Dorothea with a basket of flowers or fruits, symbolizing her martyrdom and heavenly gifts, and Saint John the Baptist, often depicted as a child in his interactions with Christ, with a reed cross or lamb.

Jan van Balen, born in Antwerp in 1611 and died in 1654, was known for his detailed and vibrant compositions, often rich in color and elaborate symbolism. His works are exemplary of the Flemish Baroque style, which emphasized movement, color, and sensuality. "The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine" exemplifies van Balen’s skill in blending religious themes with the ornate aesthetic of the period, making it a valuable piece for both its artistic merit and its religious significance.
