Heilige Catharina van Alexandrië met keizer Maxentius 1623 - 1660

This etching by Pieter de Bailliu, created between 1623 and 1660, depicts Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The saint is portrayed standing triumphantly over Emperor Maxentius, who lies defeated at her feet. Catherine holds a palm frond and sword, symbols of her martyrdom and faith. The image is part of a series of etchings dedicated to saints, known for its detailed rendering and dramatic compositions. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam houses this piece, a testament to the artistic legacy of the 17th century.
