Elizabeth Panton, Later Lady Arundell of Wardour, as Saint Catherine is a 1695 oil by Benedetto Gennari II, a Early Baroque Italian work, depicting Saint Cecilia, held at Tate Britain.
This painting depicts a woman in a white dress, draped in a pink robe, holding a palm branch in her left hand and a broken wheel in her right. She wears a gold crown and has a serene expression. The background features a cloudy sky with trees and hills. The woman's attire and the objects she holds suggest she is a saint. The palm branch is a symbol of martyrdom, while the broken wheel is often associated with Saint Catherine, who was tortured on a wheel. Look up the artist Benedetto Gennari II.
Benedetto Gennari II (1633–1715) was an artist, born in Cento.
