"Saint Catherine" is a Renaissance engraving created by the German printmaker known only by the monogram "Master MZ." Dated to around 1500, this work is one of the few attributed to this enigmatic artist, whose identity remains a subject of speculation among art historians. The engraving depicts Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a Christian saint and martyr who was revered during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance for her intellect, steadfast faith, and the legendary account of her mystical marriage to Christ.

The image of Saint Catherine in Master MZ's work is rich with iconographic detail, characteristic of the period's religious art. She is typically shown with the wheel, her attribute, which refers to the instrument of her torture, and the sword, symbolizing her beheading. The engraving reflects the intricate style and technical proficiency of the Northern Renaissance, showcasing Master MZ's skill in creating detailed and delicate lines that give form and texture to the saint's attire and the surrounding elements.

Master MZ was part of a tradition of printmaking that flourished in Germany at the end of the 15th century, a time when the medium of engraving was used not only for artistic expression but also for disseminating religious imagery to a broader audience. "Saint Catherine" by Master MZ is considered an important work for its artistry and for the light it sheds on the practices and devotional life of the period. Despite the limited number of works attributed to Master MZ, this engraving contributes valuable insight into the early development of printmaking in Germany and the interplay between art and piety at the dawn of the 16th century.
