The "Martyrdom of St Lucy" (predella 5) is a notable work created around 1445 by the Italian Renaissance painter Domenico Veneziano. This painting is part of the predella of the Santa Lucia de' Magnoli Altarpiece, a significant altarpiece commissioned for the church of Santa Lucia dei Magnoli in Florence. Domenico Veneziano, known for his pioneering use of color and light, was an influential figure in the development of early Renaissance art, and his works are celebrated for their delicate handling of perspective and innovative use of natural light.

The "Martyrdom of St Lucy" depicts the harrowing scene of Saint Lucy's martyrdom, a subject that reflects the religious fervor and the veneration of saints typical of the period. Saint Lucy, a Christian martyr who died during the Diocletianic Persecution, is often portrayed in art as a symbol of purity and steadfast faith. In this painting, Domenico Veneziano captures the dramatic moment with a keen attention to detail and a profound sense of narrative.

The composition of the painting is meticulously arranged, with the figures set against a backdrop that showcases Veneziano's skill in creating depth and spatial coherence. The use of light in the painting is particularly noteworthy; Veneziano employs a soft, diffused light that enhances the emotional intensity of the scene and highlights the serene expression of Saint Lucy amidst her suffering. This technique not only underscores the saint's spiritual transcendence but also exemplifies Veneziano's mastery in manipulating light to convey mood and atmosphere.

The "Martyrdom of St Lucy" is a testament to Domenico Veneziano's artistic prowess and his contribution to the evolution of Renaissance art. His innovative approach to color and light had a lasting impact on his contemporaries and successors, influencing the trajectory of Western art. Today, this painting remains an important piece for understanding the religious and artistic context of 15th-century Italy, as well as the enduring legacy of Domenico Veneziano's work.
