"St. Margaret of Antioch" is a painting by Peter Candid, also known as Pieter de Witte or Pietro Candido, a Flemish-born Mannerist painter and draughtsman active in Italy and Southern Germany. The artwork depicts Saint Margaret of Antioch, a Christian martyr from the 4th century, who was renowned for her faith and her miraculous escape from a dragon, a symbol of the devil. This hagiographic theme was popular in medieval and Renaissance art, reflecting the saint's widespread veneration and her inclusion among the group of saints known as the Fourteen Holy Helpers, who were particularly venerated in Germany during Candid's time.

Peter Candid, born around 1548 and having died in 1628, was a prolific artist whose works included frescoes, altarpieces, and smaller devotional paintings. His style was influenced by his time in Italy, particularly by the work of the Venetian masters and the Roman school, which is often reflected in his use of color and composition. "St. Margaret of Antioch" is an example of Candid's religious works, which typically combine the dynamism and elegance characteristic of the late Renaissance with the emotional intensity of Counter-Reformation art.

The painting is notable for its depiction of the saint's attributes, such as the dragon and the cross, which she often holds as a sign of her faith and victory over evil. The exact dimensions, date of creation, and current location of "St. Margaret of Antioch" by Peter Candid are not specified here, but such works are typically held in museums, churches, or private collections, and are studied for their artistic and historical significance.

As an artist who bridged Northern and Southern European artistic traditions, Peter Candid's "St. Margaret of Antioch" serves as an important piece within the broader context of European art history, offering insights into the religious and cultural milieu of the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
