"Santa Catalina" mousepad

23 x 20.5 cm.

This mous pad, with which you can use your mouse in the most comfortable way, reproduces one of the paintings dedicated by Reni to goddesses, saints and heroines of antiquity that were very successful in the Europe of his time. This Saint Catherine of Alexandria (ca. 1606) is depicted half-length or three-quarter length, as Caravaggio had already done, and shows great delicacy in the pose in which she holds the palm leaf symbolising her martyrdom, an effect that is accompanied by the exquisiteness of the fabrics that envelop her, which probably allude to the fabrics of Bologna, which was at that time a major silk-production centre.
