"Saint Catherine of Alexandria" is a renowned oil painting on wood by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino), created circa 1507. This masterpiece is celebrated for its exquisite depiction of the Christian martyr, Saint Catherine of Alexandria, and is a prime example of Raphael's mastery in portraying serene and graceful figures imbued with a divine presence. The painting is currently housed in the National Gallery, London, having been acquired in 1865.

The artwork portrays Saint Catherine in a moment of divine inspiration or mystical engagement, leaning on a fragment of the wheel—her attribute and instrument of martyrdom—while gazing heavenward. Raphael's skill in the use of color and light brings a lifelike presence to the saint, highlighting her beauty and sanctity. The composition is notable for its elegance and the harmonious arrangement of forms, which exemplify the idealized beauty characteristic of the High Renaissance.

Raphael, born in Urbino in 1483, was one of the trinity of great masters of the High Renaissance, alongside Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. His work on "Saint Catherine of Alexandria" is considered to be from his Florentine period, a time when he was heavily influenced by the works of Leonardo and Michelangelo, incorporating their techniques of chiaroscuro and dynamic composition into his own style. This painting not only reflects Raphael's technical prowess but also his ability to convey complex spiritual and emotional states through his subjects.

The painting's historical and artistic significance is further enriched by its illustrious provenance and the admiration it has garnered over the centuries. It stands as a testament to Raphael's genius in capturing the divine and the human, making "Saint Catherine of Alexandria" a cherished piece in the canon of Western art.
