Description: | This picture entered the collection of the Glasgow Museum as German School, but is now attributed to Bartolomeo Veneto. The fantastic hairstyle with white jasmine flowers relates to Saint Catherine of Alexandria as the Bride of Christ. The sector of the wheel is a reminder of the wheel on which she was tortured to death, but which was struck by lightning and thunder sent down from the heavens. The tightly crimped hair of the saint and the richly jewelled embroidery of her sixteenth century dress relate the painting to contemporary fashionable portraits painted by Bartolomeo Veneto in his mature style. | Subjects: | figure; religion (St Catherine of Alexandria) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bartolomeo Veneto (Italian painter, active 1502; died 1531 Turin, Italy) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to German School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8806... | Go to resource |
