1465
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Saint Catherine of Alexandria is a 1465 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman in a long red robe with yellow trim, holding a golden book. She wears a dark hat and stands against a simple background with faint blue lines. At her feet lies a wheel with a broken spoke, and a small dog sits nearby. The colors are bright but uneven, as if added by hand after the print was made. This style was common in religious art of the time. Next, look up woodcut to see how this print was carved.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
