Three Saints (Matthew, Catherine of Alexandria and John the Evangelist) 1450

"Three Saints (Matthew, Catherine of Alexandria and John the Evangelist)" is a 1450 painting by Stefan Lochner. This piece depicts Saint Matthew holding a book, Saint Catherine holding a sword, and Saint John the Evangelist holding a chalice. The saints stand against a gold background, each with their own halo. The painting is a fine example of the Cologne School of painting, noted for its rich colors, intricate details and use of gold backgrounds. The work is now on display at the National Gallery, London.
