Catherine of Alexandria c. 1507. Oil painting on wood, by the Italian High Renaissance artist (Raphael), Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (1483-1520). The depiction of religious passion in the painting is still reminiscent of Pietro Perugino. But the graceful contrapposto of Catherine's pose is typical of the influence of Leonardo da Vinci on Raphael, and is believed to be an echo of Leonardo's lost painting Leda and the Swan.

Saint Catherine of Alexandria in Prison ca. 1580-85 Paolo Veronese (Paolo Caliari) Italian The Roman Emperor Maxentius condemned Saint Catherine, a fourth-century princess of Alexandria who had attempted to convince him of the validity of Christianity, to twelve days of starvation in prison. Veronese shows her in a dark prison cell comforted by the dove of the Holy Ghost. Behind and below her are fragments of the wheel with which the Emperor sought, unsuccessfully, to kill her. She was ultimately martyred by beheading and holds the martyr's palm. The painting was done late in Veronese's career, probably about 1580-85, when his work was characterized by a dramatic use of light and a new depth of expression..

Portrait of a Woman. Artist: Attributed to Giovanni di Franco (Italian, Rovezzano 1425/26-after 1498 Florence). Dimensions: 16 1/4 x 12 1/4 in. (41.3 x 31.1 cm).The attribution of this fascinating portrait has been much debated. It is unusual both for the plainness of the sitter and the box-like character of the setting. Was it intended to have funerary connotations, establishing a commemorative function for the portrait, or is the purpose of the emphatic perspective and the cast shadow to assert the illusionistic "presence" of the sitter The work thus poses fundamental questions about the uses of portraiture in fifteenth-century Florence. The picture dates about 1445-50. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: Attributed to Giovanni di Franco.
