EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite print from around 1505-1507, German artist Hans Baldung captures the serene beauty and devotion of St. Catherine of Alexandria. Dressed in lavish attire, with a hair net covering her long locks, she holds a holy volume open to reveal its sacred text. Beside her lie the instruments of her martyrdom: the wheel and sword that symbolize her bravery in refusing to renounce Christianity before Roman Emperor Maxentius.
Baldung's masterful brushstrokes bring St. Catherine to life, as if she might step out from the frame at any moment. Her profile is a study in elegance, with high cheekbones and a gentle smile that belies the turmoil of her later years. This stunning portrait not only celebrates the beauty of Renaissance art but also honors the courage and conviction of this early Christian martyr.
As one of Hans Baldung's most celebrated works, St. Catherine has become an iconic representation of faith, virtue, and femininity during a time when women were often relegated to domestic roles. Her story serves as a powerful reminder that even in the face of adversity, individuals can remain steadfast in their beliefs and values.
