"Saints Catherine of Alexandria, Margaret of Antioch and Barbara, and a Bishop Saint" is a painting by the Master of the St. Bartholomew Altarpiece, an anonymous German painter active in Cologne during the late Gothic period, around the late 15th and early 16th centuries. This work is notable for its depiction of three venerated virgin martyrs—Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Saint Margaret of Antioch, and Saint Barbara—alongside an unidentified bishop saint. Each figure is rendered with the distinctive attributes that traditionally identify them in Christian iconography: Catherine with a wheel and sword, Margaret with a dragon, Barbara with a tower, and the bishop with the regalia of his ecclesiastical office.

The painting is a fine example of the devotional art of the period, characterized by its detailed representation, vibrant color palette, and intricate gold leaf accents. The Master of the St. Bartholomew Altarpiece is recognized for his sophisticated use of color and adept portrayal of religious figures, which often reflect the spiritual and cultural milieu of the time.

As an altarpiece, this work would have served both as an object of veneration and as a didactic piece, instructing the faithful about the lives and virtues of these saints. The inclusion of the bishop saint, while less common, suggests a local or regional devotion, or possibly a patron's personal connection to the bishop depicted.

The painting is part of a larger oeuvre attributed to the Master of the St. Bartholomew Altarpiece, whose name derives from his most famous work, the St. Bartholomew Altarpiece, currently housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich. Although the identity of the Master remains unknown, his contributions to the art of the Cologne School are significant, and his works are considered important for the study of late medieval Rhineland painting.

The "Saints Catherine of Alexandria, Margaret of Antioch and Barbara, and a Bishop Saint" is an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the religious life, artistic conventions, and societal values of the time. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as a representation of the rich tradition of saintly iconography in Western art.
