"The Virgin Appears to Sts Luke and Catherine" is a 1592 painting by the Italian Baroque artist Annibale Carracci. This work is notable for its depiction of the Virgin Mary appearing to Saint Luke the Evangelist and Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The painting is a significant example of Carracci's mature style, which blended elements of the Venetian colorito (color) and the Florentine disegno (drawing), synthesizing the naturalism and the idealization of the human figure.

In the painting, Carracci presents a celestial vision where the Virgin Mary, accompanied by the infant Jesus, appears on clouds to the saints below. Saint Luke, traditionally considered the patron saint of artists and depicted as a painter in this work, is shown in the act of painting the Virgin, a reference to the medieval legend that he painted her portrait. Saint Catherine, recognizable by her attribute, the broken wheel, gazes devoutly at the holy vision. The interaction between the earthly realm of the saints and the heavenly apparition is a theme that Carracci explored through dynamic composition and the use of light, creating a sense of spiritual elevation.

Annibale Carracci was a pivotal figure in the development of the Baroque style, and this painting is an example of his contribution to religious art in the late 16th century. The work is celebrated for its emotional depth and technical mastery, characteristics that would influence generations of artists to come. The painting is housed in the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy, where it remains an important piece within their collection of Baroque art.
