Medievalish painting from Calnic

One of my last year's paintings is inspired by the nicely preserved medieval atmosphere of the fortified Saxon church in Calnic (Alba County, Transylvania). 
It depicts the curtain wall and the medieval keep in the background and a holy scene in the foreground: the Virgin and St. Catherine (with their respective iconographic attributed, the vase with lilies and the wheel).
The miniature is made in a combination of techniques: linocut, collage, acrylic on canvas and is ready to hang, provided with a sawtooth hanger (allowing perfect balance and balance corrections if needed) and canvas stretchers already in place, on the back (if, due to display or storage conditions the canvas should need stretching in the future, the pegs are just pushed in a bit).
