Saint Catherine of Alexandria

The poverty of the material does not seem to be an obstacle to the definition of an image swollen with illustrative and sentimental implications, so much so that the absolute whiteness of the niche, and the rigorous arrangement of the statues, end up underlining a grandiloquent content, which contradicts the apparently classicising approach of the pure white images.
