The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine

Bartolomeo Biscaino (1632–1657) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active in his native Genoa. He was the son, and pupil, of Giovanni Andrea Biscaino. He afterwards became a pupil of Valerio Castelli. His career was cut short by the plague which visited Genoa, and to which his father and himself fell victims. The Dresden gallery once held three paintings, representing Woman taken in adultery, Adoration by Magi, and Circumcision of Christ.

He etched several plates, in a style, recalling Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, including:

Moses in bulrushes
Susannah and the Elders
Nativity with Angels
The Circumcision
The Magi’s offering
Herodias with head of St. John
Virgin and infant with Angels
