EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed section of the magnificent painting "St. Catherine of Alexandria" by Ludovico Brea, created in 1475. The artwork, executed with oil on panel, is housed in the Church of Cimiez located in Nice, France. The focal point of this particular detail is St. Catherine herself, a revered Christian saint and martyr who lived during the 3rd century. She stands as an emblematic figure of strength and devotion to her faith. In this portrayal, she holds a prominent position alongside the infamous wheel upon which she was condemned to die by Roman Emperor Maxentius. The artist's skillful brushwork brings forth an array of emotions through his depiction of St. Catherine's face – a mix of determination and serenity amidst her impending fate. The intricate details highlight every delicate feature from her flowing hair to her piercing gaze. Brea's composition also includes subtle elements such as the presence of a sword symbolizing both her martyrdom and spiritual victory over evil forces. This remarkable piece not only serves as a visual tribute to St. Catherine but also represents the timeless power that art possesses in capturing historical moments and immortalizing them for generations to come.
