Maria reicht den hll. Dominikus und Katharina den Rosenkranz

The oil-on-canvas work Maria reicht den hll. Dominikus und Katharina den Rosenkranz was painted by Johann Georg Knappich in 1687 and entered the Bavarian State Painting Collections, where it remains on display at the Alte Pinakothek.

Originally commissioned for devotional use, the painting portrays Saint Catherine of Siena holding a rosary while presenting it to Saint Dominic, reflecting Counter-Reformation emphasis on Marian devotion and the rosary as a spiritual weapon. Its iconography aligns with contemporary Jesuit devotional practices promoting the rosary for personal and communal prayer.

The work was created as part of the Bavarian court’s program to enrich the Alte Pinakothek with religious subjects that reinforced Catholic doctrinal themes during the late 17th century.

The painting is held by the Bavarian State Painting Collections and is located at the Alte Pinakothek in Munich. It forms part of that museum's religious holdings and is catalogued as a work by Johann Georg Knappich dated 1687.

No specific inventory or accession number is recorded in the available sources, and no exhibition history is documented for the work.
