"Santa Catalina De Siena" is a 1614 oil painting by Spanish artist Juan Bautista Maíno. It portrays the titular Saint Catherine of Siena, a prominent figure in the Catholic Church, wearing a crown of thorns. The painting showcases Maíno's mastery of detail and his ability to convey spiritual fervor through the saint's solemn expression and the delicate rendering of her garments. Currently housed at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, this artwork is a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring power of religious imagery in Spanish art.
