"Ritratto di Gentildonna nelle sembianze di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria" (Portrait of a Lady in the Guise of Saint Catherine of Alexandria) is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Benvenuto Tisi, commonly known as Il Garofalo. This painting, dating from the early 16th century, exemplifies the High Renaissance style and Garofalo's particular blend of influences from his contemporaries, such as Raphael and Titian.

The artwork serves as both a portrait and a hagiographic representation, depicting a noblewoman as Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a popular saint known for her intelligence, eloquence, and martyrdom. The subject is adorned with the saint's attributes, including the martyr's palm, the wheel that is a symbol of her torture, and a sword, indicative of her execution. The fusion of portraiture with religious iconography was a common practice during the Renaissance, allowing the sitter to be depicted in a manner that reflected their piety and virtue.

Garofalo's painting is characterized by its rich color palette, detailed rendering of textures, and the serene yet confident expression of the sitter, which was typical of the idealized portraits of the period. The background landscape and the use of sfumato contribute to the depth and atmosphere of the piece, showcasing the artist's skill in creating a harmonious and balanced composition.

"Ritratto di Gentildonna nelle sembianze di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria" is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as an example of the cultural and religious values of the Italian Renaissance. It remains an important work for the study of Garofalo's oeuvre and the broader context of 16th-century Italian portraiture.
