Cristofano Roncalli (Pomarance, Italy, 1552 – Rome, Italy 1626) Saint Catherine of Siena chooses the crown of thorns Oil on panel, without frame cm. 101.5 x 59.5 - with frame cm. 120 x 76 Box frame in shaped, carved and sculpted wood, partly gilded and partly ebonized wood Expertise by Marco Ciampolini The wonderful scene that opens before our eyes is that of the apparition of Christ to Saint Catherine of Siena; she must choose between a golden crown, symbol of earthly royalty, and a crown of thorns, symbol of virtuous Christian sacrifice. Catherine does not hesitate to choose the crown of thorns, her life in imitation of Christ. The beautiful panel is the work of Cristofano Roncalli known as Pomarancio, one of the greatest interpreters of late Italian mannerism. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
from
