"Saint Catherine 1857" is a notable watercolor painting by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Created in 1857, this work exemplifies Rossetti's fascination with medieval themes and religious iconography, which were central to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's artistic philosophy. The painting depicts Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a Christian martyr who was highly venerated in the Middle Ages. Known for her wisdom and eloquence, Saint Catherine was said to have converted many to Christianity before being martyred.

Rossetti's portrayal of Saint Catherine is imbued with rich symbolism and meticulous attention to detail, hallmarks of the Pre-Raphaelite style. The saint is often depicted with her traditional attributes, such as the spiked wheel, which was the instrument of her torture, and a book, symbolizing her scholarly prowess. Rossetti's use of vibrant colors and intricate patterns reflects his deep interest in medieval art and literature, as well as his commitment to reviving the techniques and aesthetics of early Renaissance painting.

The painting also demonstrates Rossetti's skill in capturing the emotional and spiritual intensity of his subjects. Saint Catherine's serene yet resolute expression conveys her steadfast faith and inner strength, qualities that made her a popular figure among the Pre-Raphaelites, who admired her as a symbol of intellectual and moral integrity.

"Saint Catherine 1857" is part of Rossetti's broader body of work that explores themes of martyrdom, sanctity, and the intersection of the divine and the human. This painting, like many of Rossetti's works, reflects his deep engagement with religious and literary sources, as well as his innovative approach to composition and color. Today, "Saint Catherine 1857" is celebrated not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the Pre-Raphaelite movement and its enduring influence on subsequent generations of artists.
