Description: | Saint Catherine is represented holding the palm of martyrdom and the spiked wheel on which she was tortured. The mountainous landscape background could refer to Mount Sinai, where her body was carried by angels for burial, according to Jacobus de Voragine's Golden Legend. This picture has been attributed to a painter from the Northern Italian region of Emilia Romagna, possibly Girolamo Marchesi, who worked in Naples and Rome, and was influenced by Raphael. | Subjects: | religion (St Catherine) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Marchesi, Girolamo (Italian painter, born 1471 or 1481, died 1540 or 1550) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Caroto, Giovanni Francesco (Italian painter, ca.1480-1555) Previously attributed to Garofalo, Benvenuto Tisi da (Italian painter, 1481-1559) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9007... | Go to resource |
