"The Martyrdom of St. Catherine" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the late 15th or early 16th century. This work is part of a series of woodcuts that depict the lives and martyrdoms of Christian saints, which was a common theme in Dürer's oeuvre and reflective of the religious climate of the time. St. Catherine of Alexandria was a popular saint during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, celebrated for her intellect, her steadfast faith, and her martyrdom.

The woodcut illustrates the moment of St. Catherine's execution, as she is about to be put to death on the breaking wheel, an event that is said to have miraculously failed, leading to her beheading. Dürer's depiction is noted for its intricate detail and the emotional intensity conveyed through the figures' expressions and gestures. The composition is carefully structured to guide the viewer's eye towards the central figure of St. Catherine, who is portrayed with a serene composure that contrasts with the chaos around her.

Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was a prolific painter, printmaker, and theorist of the German Renaissance. His works are renowned for their remarkable detail, craftsmanship, and artistic innovation. Dürer's prints, particularly his woodcuts and engravings, were widely disseminated and had a significant influence on the visual culture of his time. "The Martyrdom of St. Catherine" is an example of Dürer's skill in the medium of woodcut and his ability to convey complex narratives and emotions through the stark contrasts of black and white.

The woodcut is held in various collections around the world and has been the subject of scholarly analysis for its artistic merit, its place within Dürer's body of work, and its representation of religious themes prevalent during the Renaissance. It remains an important piece for the study of Dürer's printmaking techniques and his interpretation of saintly iconography.
