"The Martyrdom of St. Catherine" (1504-1505) is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, depicting the trial and execution of the Christian saint, Catherine of Alexandria. This painting is an early example of Cranach's religious works, showcasing his distinctive style that combines intricate detail with expressive narrative elements. The artwork is believed to have been commissioned for a Christian patron, reflecting the devotional practices and theological interests of the time.

In the painting, Cranach illustrates the moment of Catherine's martyrdom, where she is bound to a spiked wheel, an instrument of torture. According to legend, the wheel broke miraculously when she touched it, leading to her subsequent beheading. Cranach's portrayal is rich in symbolism and reflects the saint's steadfast faith and divine intervention. The composition is balanced with a dramatic use of color and light, emphasizing the contrast between the saint's serene demeanor and the gruesome scene.

The work is significant for its art historical value, as it provides insight into the religious and cultural milieu of early 16th-century Germany. It also exemplifies Cranach's skill in rendering textures and his ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art. "The Martyrdom of St. Catherine" remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Lucas Cranach the Elder and contributes to the understanding of Northern Renaissance art and its engagement with religious subject matter.
