The Martyrdom of Saint Catherine is a significant baroque painting by the Italian artist Filippo Lauri (1623–1694). This artwork, created in the 17th century, vividly depicts the martyrdom of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a popular Christian saint and martyr from the early Christian church, who was believed to have been executed by the Roman Emperor Maxentius for her unwavering faith and refusal to renounce Christianity. Filippo Lauri, renowned for his mastery in painting landscapes, mythological, and religious scenes, brings a dramatic intensity to this work, showcasing his skill in capturing human emotion and divine intervention.

The painting portrays the moment of Saint Catherine's attempted execution on the breaking wheel, an event that is central to her hagiography. According to legend, the wheel broke miraculously when she touched it, a divine intervention that is often depicted in art. Lauri's interpretation is noted for its dynamic composition, the vivid portrayal of the figures, and the use of light to emphasize the spiritual aspects of the scene. The Martyrdom of Saint Catherine not only exemplifies Lauri's baroque style, characterized by dramatic use of color and light, but also reflects the religious fervor and artistic trends of 17th-century Italy.

This work is part of Filippo Lauri's broader oeuvre, which contributed significantly to the Roman school of painting. As a member of the Accademia di San Luca, Lauri's artistic contributions were influential in the development of Baroque art in Rome. The Martyrdom of Saint Catherine stands as a testament to his artistic legacy, embodying the emotional depth and technical skill that define the Baroque period. Through this painting, Lauri offers a window into the spiritual and artistic climate of his time, making it a valuable piece for both historical and artistic scholarship.
