Michael Angelo's influence, which carried all before it in his day, never diverted Sodoma, who was strictly an original painter, from his own independent course. His female heads, as even his adversary Vasari was forced to acknowledge, are unsurpassed. From a certain point of view he may be classed, with Lotto and Correggio, with that body of gifted artists who, like Leonardo, mainly strove to depict ‘the sweetness of the soul.” In the “Ecstasy of St. Catherine '' in the church of S. Domenico at Siena, the hands, more especially the left, are conceived and treated just as Correggio might have treated them; and the beautiful boy angels over the arch have quite the feeling of Lotto or of Correggio himself. The fresco, completed in 1526, in the chapel of St. Catherine of Siena painted for the church of San Domenico (Siena), depicting the saint in ecstasy, fainting as she receives the Eucharist from an angel.  Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
