"Saint Catherine" is a renowned oil painting by Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. Render circa 1670-1675, it is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. The painting depicts Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a Christian saint and virgin who was martyred in the early 4th century at the hands of the pagan emperor Maxentius.

"Saint Catherine" is a perfect representation of Murillo's distinctive style during his late career, showcasing a tender, more introspective approach to religious themes. It reveals his masterful ability to capture the softness of textures and the delicate play of light, which imbues the piece with a sense of serene piety. The artistry demonstrated in this painting, along with other works of his, significantly contributed to Murillo's reputation as one of the most influential Spanish painters of the 17th century.

In the painting, Saint Catherine is shown in a contemplative pose, with her gaze directed upwards, suggesting a connection with the divine. The figure is gracefully depicted against a cloud-filled sky, symbolic of heavenly abode. She holds a palm frond - an emblem of Christian martyrdom - in one hand, while the other rests on a spiked wheel - the instrument of her torture, which is a part of her traditional iconographic representation. The overall composition beautifully portrays her as an embodiment of feminine virtue, resilience, and steadfast faith.

The painting forms part of Murillo's series of female saints; others include depictions of Saints Justa and Rufina, and Saint Maria Magdalena. Through these works, Murillo succeeded in expressing an exceptional sense of spiritual fervor and mysticism which still endows them with relevance and admiration.
