"The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria" is a renowned oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1628–1630. This work depicts the mystical union of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a Christian saint and martyr from the early 4th century, with the infant Jesus Christ in the presence of the Virgin Mary and various attending figures, including angels and saints. The painting is imbued with the dynamic movement and rich, sumptuous color palette characteristic of Rubens's mature style.

The composition centers on the figure of Saint Catherine, who is traditionally shown with a wheel, an instrument of her martyrdom. In this celestial marriage, the infant Jesus, guided by his mother, places a ring on Catherine's finger, symbolizing her spiritual betrothal to Christ—a common theme in Christian art that emphasizes the saint's purity and commitment to her faith. The figures are typically arranged in a diagonal, which adds a sense of depth and drama to the scene.

Rubens's work is noted for its emotional intensity and its blend of sensuality and spirituality, which is evident in the tender interactions between the figures. The painting also showcases Rubens's skill in rendering textures, from the luxurious fabrics to the soft flesh of the figures, demonstrating his mastery of the oil medium.

"The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria" by Rubens is held in high esteem for its artistry and its rich iconography, which reflects the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on religious devotion and the veneration of saints.

It remains an important example of 17th-century Flemish art and contributes to the understanding of religious and cultural contexts of the period.
