"The Mystic Marriage of St. Catherine" is a Baroque-era painting by Flemish artist Kasper van den Hoecke (also known as Gaspar van den Hoecke), created in the early 17th century. This artwork 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 painting, the infant Jesus, seated on the Virgin Mary's lap, places a ring on Saint Catherine's finger, while angels and other saintly figures typically witness the event.

Kasper van den Hoecke, born in Antwerp around 1585 and died after 1648, was a painter and draughtsman known for his religious compositions, portraits, and history paintings. He was a member of the Guild of Saint Luke in Antwerp and worked under the influence of prominent artists such as Peter Paul Rubens. Van den Hoecke's style is characterized by dynamic compositions, a rich color palette, and a keen attention to detail, all of which are evident in "The Mystic Marriage of St. Catherine."

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is generally attributed to the early part of van den Hoecke's career. The work is executed in oil on canvas and is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which enhances the spiritual and emotional intensity of the scene. The painting's current location and provenance are not widely known, which may limit the availability of detailed information about its history and critical reception.

"The Mystic Marriage of St. Catherine" by Kasper van den Hoecke remains an important example of Flemish Baroque painting, reflecting the era's religious fervor and artistic innovation. It contributes to the understanding of the period's iconography and the oeuvre of a significant yet lesser-known artist of the Flemish school.
