"Saint Barbara" is a notable painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Fra Paolino da Pistoia. Fra Paolino, born Paolo di Bernardino di Antonio del Signoraccio (1490–1547), was a Dominican friar and painter who was heavily influenced by the works of Fra Bartolomeo, under whom he trained. His oeuvre is characterized by religious themes, reflecting his monastic life and the spiritual milieu of the period.

The painting "Saint Barbara" depicts the Christian martyr Saint Barbara, who is venerated as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and is the patron saint of artillerymen, miners, and anyone who works with explosives due to her association with lightning and sudden death. In Christian iconography, Saint Barbara is often portrayed with a tower, a reference to the legend that her father locked her in a tower to preserve her from the outside world.

Fra Paolino's rendition of Saint Barbara is a testament to his mastery of religious iconography and his ability to convey spiritual themes through art. The painting is noted for its serene composition, delicate use of color, and the detailed rendering of the saint's attributes. Saint Barbara is typically shown holding a chalice and a host, symbolizing her faith and martyrdom, and standing beside a tower, which is a key element in her story.

The work reflects the stylistic elements of the High Renaissance, with its balanced composition, harmonious proportions, and the use of chiaroscuro to create depth and volume. Fra Paolino's attention to detail and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of divine grace are evident in this painting, making it a significant piece in the study of Renaissance religious art.

"Saint Barbara" by Fra Paolino da Pistoia is an important example of the artist's contribution to the religious and artistic heritage of the Renaissance period. It continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and its ability to convey the profound spiritual themes associated with the life and martyrdom of Saint Barbara.
