Description: | On column: "DOMINICVS CAMPA/GNO/LA"; at foot: ".MDXVII." Verso: collector's mark of WIlliam Bell Scott (Lugt 2607) CRE CAMPAGNOLA, Domenico; (Italian; c.1500-after1552) "The pagan Emperor Maximinus condemned the Christian princess Catherine to die on a spiked wheel, but the execution failed when angels destroyed the lethal device and she had to beheaded instead. This is another of the group of engravings produced by Campagnola in 1517.There is a drawing by him in the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris with several studies for the kneeling figure of St Catherine (see illustration). Her pose was reversed in the process of printing the final engraving. Campagnola's use of figural distortions for expressive effect is especially marked in the print."
