Mystic Marriage of S Catherine

On the basis of the coat of arms (top left), the picture can be linked to the wedding of Anna della Torre and Giambattista Pindemonte in Verona in 1547. There are problems with the state of conservation of the picture. Paint has rubbed off in places, and corrections and overpaintings by other hands make it difficult to judge the original work. X-rays of the right-hand side revealed another figure in the curtain area that was possibly lost during an earlier restoration. In the past, the painting was often attributed to the young Veronese. It is however an exemplary documentation of the mutual links between him and a group of contemporary Verona-based painters that included not only Zelotti but also Battista dell’Angelo del Moro, Paolo Farinati and Domenico Brusasorzi.
