"Stigmatization of St Catherine of Siena" is a notable early 16th-century painting by the Italian artist Domenico Beccafumi, one of the most prominent Mannerist painters from Siena. Created circa 1515, this artwork captures the mystical experience of St Catherine of Siena, an eminent Dominican tertiary and theologian who is said to have received the stigmata. Beccafumi's depiction is celebrated for its ethereal quality and dynamic composition, which are characteristic of the Mannerist style that emerged as a reaction against the balanced and harmonious ideals of the High Renaissance.

The painting portrays St Catherine in a moment of divine ecstasy as she receives the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, which are being bestowed upon her by a seraph. The saint is shown kneeling, with her hands outstretched, as she gazes upward towards the celestial vision. The use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic contrast between light and dark, enhances the spiritual intensity of the scene, while the elongated proportions and elegant poses of the figures reflect the Mannerist aesthetic.

Beccafumi's work is distinguished by his masterful handling of color and light, as well as his innovative use of perspective and space, which adds a sense of otherworldliness to the scene. "Stigmatization of St Catherine of Siena" is not only a testament to the artist's technical skill but also provides insight into the religious fervor and mystical experiences that were central to the spirituality of the period.

This painting holds significance in art history as an example of the transition from the High Renaissance to Mannerism and is an important piece in understanding Beccafumi's oeuvre and the religious iconography of the time. It remains an object of study for scholars interested in the cultural and artistic contexts of early 16th-century Italy. The "Stigmatization of St Catherine of Siena" is a testament to Beccafumi's ability to convey complex theological ideas through his art, making it a valuable piece for both its aesthetic qualities and its religious significance.
