"Saint Catherine of Alexandria" is a notable oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi, created circa 1615–17. The work depicts the early Christian saint Catherine of Alexandria, who was both a princess and a noted scholar, and who became a martyr in the 4th century. Gentileschi's portrayal of Saint Catherine is imbued with the dramatic intensity characteristic of the Baroque period, showcasing her skill in rendering emotional depth and her use of chiaroscuro to enhance the three-dimensional form of her subject.

In the painting, Saint Catherine is shown in a moment of contemplative repose, leaning on a broken wheel, an instrument of her torture and an attribute that identifies her iconographically. The wheel references the legend of her martyrdom, in which she was sentenced to be executed on a spiked breaking wheel, which miraculously broke when she touched it. She is also depicted with a palm frond, symbolizing her martyrdom, and a crown, indicating her royal status.

Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the few female painters of the 17th century to achieve fame during her own lifetime, is known for her powerful and often dramatic representations of female figures from mythology and the Bible. "Saint Catherine of Alexandria" is a prime example of her work, reflecting both her technical prowess and her personal identification with her subjects, often portraying them as strong and resilient characters.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of Gentileschi's own experiences and the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated field. It stands as a testament to her resilience and her ability to convey complex emotional states through her art. "Saint Catherine of Alexandria" is held in high esteem among Gentileschi's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its stylistic and thematic contributions to Baroque art.
