"The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine" is a Baroque painting by Flemish artist Kasper van den Hoecke (also known as Gaspar van den Hoecke), created in the early 17th century. The painting depicts the mystical union of Saint Catherine of Alexandria with Jesus Christ, a popular theme in Christian art symbolizing the saint's spiritual betrothal to Christ. In the scene, the infant Jesus, seated on the Virgin Mary's lap, places a ring on Saint Catherine's finger, watched by angels and saints in a celestial gathering.

Kasper van den Hoecke, born in Antwerp around 1585 and deceased in 1648, was a prominent painter of religious subjects and a member of the Guild of Saint Luke. He was influenced by the works of Peter Paul Rubens and was known for his dynamic compositions and rich color palette. "The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine" is considered one of his significant works, showcasing his ability to blend spiritual themes with the dramatic flair characteristic of the Baroque period.

The painting is notable for its intricate details, use of light and shadow, and the emotional expressions of the figures. It serves as an example of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on religious art that was both didactic and emotionally engaging, aimed at reaffirming Catholic doctrine through visual narrative. Van den Hoecke's work contributes to the understanding of the artistic developments in the Southern Netherlands during a period marked by religious upheaval and a flourishing of the arts.

"The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine" by Kasper van den Hoecke remains an important piece for the study of Baroque art and its religious connotations. It continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its role in the context of 17th-century Flemish painting.
