"S. M. Maddalena and S. Caterina D'alexandria" is a pair of paintings by the Italian artist Mariotto Albertinelli, who was active in Florence during the High Renaissance. The paintings depict Saint Mary Magdalene and Saint Catherine of Alexandria, each standing in their own separate frames. The figures are depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail given to their drapery and facial features. Saint Mary Magdalene holds a book and a palm frond, symbolizing her piety and martyrdom. Saint Catherine holds a goblet and a palm branch, symbolizing her purity and faith. Albertinelli's works are often characterized by their meticulous craftsmanship and the use of rich, vibrant colors. This pair of paintings is a testament to the artist's skill and his ability to capture the beauty and dignity of his subjects.
