Saint Catherine of Alexandria is a 1500 oil by Marco Basaiti, a Early Renaissance work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
The painting depicts a woman standing in front of a landscape, dressed in a long red robe over a black dress. She holds a book in her right hand and a palm frond in her left. The woman's feet are bare, and she stands on a stone platform with a circular hole in it. In the background, a mountainous landscape stretches out under a blue sky with white clouds. The woman's attire and the objects she holds suggest that she is a saint, specifically Catherine of Alexandria. The painting's use of oil paint and its style are characteristic of the early Renaissance period.
