About the Item
Monumental Baroque Oil on Canvas – Saint Catherine of Alexandria, European School, Circa Late 17th to Early 18th Century – As Found
Impressive in scale and rich in allegorical power, this arresting Baroque oil on canvas portrays Saint Catherine of Alexandria, one of the most venerated martyrs of early Christianity. Crowned as a royal and seated in serene authority, she holds a sword — the instrument of her martyrdom — while the faint presence of the shattered wheel near her feet recalls the torture she miraculously survived. A palm of victory rests by her side, affirming her sainthood and triumph over persecution.
Executed in the European tradition — likely Italian, Flemish, or Spanish — circa late 17th to early 18th century, the painting is a triumph of Baroque drama. Her flowing crimson and ivory robes, rendered with luminous folds, and her serene yet resolute expression evoke both sanctity and strength. The opulent jewelry and richly modeled crown elevate her figure to one of divine nobility.
The work is offered as found, in untouched condition, with evident craquelure, surface grime, and some paint loss. It is a prime candidate for professional restoration, with its compositional brilliance and devotional impact still commanding full presence.
Overall dimensions (framed): 186 cm height x 153 cm width
Canvas only: 163.5 cm height x 122.5 cm width
A museum-worthy depiction of Saint Catherine, ideal for collectors of sacred art or dealers seeking a Baroque masterwork with profound narrative weight and restoration potential.
