Saint Catherine appears with all the attributes referring to her martyrdom: the wheel with knives, the sword with which she was beheaded, and the palm branch. Dramatic lighting illuminates the scene, creating the characteristic chiaroscuro of the painter. Caravaggio’s interpretation of light and volume in this canvas had a profound impact both in Italy and across Europe.
The painting dates from a period when Caravaggio’s style was evolving toward more compact forms, built with powerful chiaroscuro that enhances expressive value. The saint, richly dressed in keeping with her princely status and kneeling on a sumptuous damask cushion, appears to turn her gaze toward the viewer. The color palette of her garments, with juxtaposed violets and blues, recalls tonal combinations used in northern Italy.

Price and Transaction Records
Museum Neoseries, numbered and certified, increase in price by 10% with each unit sold. Always produced on demand, their value lies in the experience of beauty itself. In this way, they are granted an induced revaluation, creating a market in which price is closely linked to demand. Thus, the value of each piece becomes tied to its social acceptance, guiding its commercial development and preventing hasty trivialization.

Framing Suggestions
Most of our editions are printed on paper and designed to travel safely and efficiently. For this reason—and because trusted framers can be found almost anywhere—we recommend framing locally. These guidelines will help you achieve the best result:
Without glass, whenever possible
Many original works are displayed without glass. To preserve the same aesthetic and presence, we recommend doing the same. The result is more natural, glare-free, and visually striking.
Mounting on rigid backing (PVC)
Ask your framer to mount the artwork onto a rigid backing. PVC is lightweight, stable, and helps prevent warping over time. It’s also essential if you choose to frame without glass.
Conservation and materials
Always use acid-free materials
If you use glass, make sure it’s anti-glare and UV-protective
Our recommended alternative: museum-grade acrylic, lighter and safer
