Bicci di Lorenzo, Matrimonio mistico di Santa Caterina d’Alessandria (sec. XV) – Museo di Sant’Agata

Il dipinto costituiva la parte centrale di un polittico posto su uno degli antichi altari della pieve che, rimosso nella ristrutturazione seicentesca dell’edificio, fu recuperato nell’Ottocento in un magazzino. Facevano parte dell’opera, dipinta da Bicci di Lorenzo (Firenze 1373-1452), intorno al quarto decennio del XV secolo, anche alcuni frammenti inseriti dal XVII secolo nell’altare di Sant’Agata presente nella vicina pieve.

La cornice, pregevole manufatto del XVI sec., era destinata a contenere la Madonna delle Grazie di Jacopo di Cione, conservata in pieve.
