"Saint Catherine of Alexandria" (1510) by Ambrogio Bergognone is a depiction of the Christian martyr Saint Catherine. Catherine is portrayed standing, holding a sword and a palm branch, with a spiked wheel, her instrument of torture, at her feet. The artist uses a vibrant palette to depict the saint’s clothing, showcasing the realism of the Milanese school in the Early Renaissance.
