Saint Catherine of Alexandria by Michelangelo Merisi and Caravaggio

Painting of the Italian painter Caravaggio “Saint Catherine of Alexandria”. The size of the picture is 173 x 133 cm, canvas, oil. This painting of religious content was written by the artist commissioned by Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte.

The Great Martyr St. Catherine was from Alexandria, her martyr’s death is dated to 307 AD under Maximin. The narrations about the celebration of her memory and her relics are first mentioned in the seventh century AD, when the relics of the saint were discovered by Egyptian Christians and transferred to a monastery on the Sinai mountain. This monastery attracted many pilgrims, and the veneration of the saint spread first in the Orthodox Church, and then passed to the Roman Curia, where many hymns and rhymed legends are dedicated to her by Catholics.

In Sinai, the Order of the Knights of St. Catherine of Alexandria was formed, for the patronage of pilgrims who came to worship her relics. The memory of St. Catherine of Alexandria is honored on November 24. In the countries of Western Europe and in the Catholic Church, St. Catherine of Alexandria, famous for its scholarship and talents, is considered the patroness of a student of youth. From the artistic images of St. Catherine of Alexandria, the best work is the picture of Correggio.
