"Sw. Katarzyna Aleksandryjska" (Saint Catherine of Alexandria) is a 17th-century oil painting by Italian Baroque artist Felice Ficherelli, also known as Il Riposo. The artwork depicts the legendary Christian saint, Catherine of Alexandria, who is venerated as a martyr and scholar. According to tradition, Catherine was condemned to death on a spiked breaking wheel, which miraculously broke when she touched it, leading to her subsequent beheading. Ficherelli's portrayal of Saint Catherine is imbued with the dramatic intensity characteristic of the Baroque period, capturing the saint in a moment of divine grace or contemplation, often with symbolic attributes such as the broken wheel, a palm branch representing martyrdom, or a book signifying her scholarly status.

Ficherelli (1605–1660), active in Florence and its surroundings, was known for his religious compositions, portraits, and mythological scenes. His works are appreciated for their vibrant color palette, dynamic compositions, and emotional expressiveness, which align with the Baroque aesthetic of engaging the viewer. "Sw. Katarzyna Aleksandryjska" exemplifies Ficherelli's skill in blending realism with a sense of spirituality, a quality that made his paintings resonate with the devotional practices of his time.

The painting is a notable example of Baroque religious art, reflecting the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on saints as intercessors and role models for the faithful. It contributes to the rich iconography of Saint Catherine, who was a popular subject among artists due to her dramatic martyrdom and intellectual prowess. Ficherelli's work on this subject stands alongside other depictions by prominent artists of the era, offering insight into the devotional imagery and artistic trends of 17th-century Italy.
