"The Assumption of Saint Catherine of Alexandria after Mattia Preti by Richard de Saint-Non" is an 18th-century artwork that reflects the confluence of two artistic traditions. The piece is a reinterpretation or engraving by the French artist Jean-Claude Richard, Abbé de Saint-Non (1727–1791), based on an original painting by the Italian Baroque painter Mattia Preti (1613–1699). Saint-Non, who was not only an artist but also a patron and an art writer, is known for his engravings and etchings that often reproduced the works of other artists, serving as a means to disseminate Baroque and Rococo art styles throughout Europe.

The subject of the artwork, Saint Catherine of Alexandria, was a popular figure in Christian iconography, celebrated for her intellect, her staunch defense of the Christian faith, and her martyrdom. The Assumption of Saint Catherine typically depicts her being taken up to heaven by angels, a scene that is not described in historical accounts of her life but became a common theme in religious art. This reflects the belief in her spiritual elevation and the reverence she commanded as a saint.

Mattia Preti's original painting would have been characterized by the dramatic use of light and shadow, typical of the Baroque style, and Saint-Non's interpretation would have translated these elements into the medium of printmaking. The engraving would serve both as a work of art in its own right and as a document of Preti's composition, allowing the image to reach a wider audience than the original painting.

The artwork by Saint-Non is an example of the 18th-century practice of printmaking that played a crucial role in the art economy, allowing for the replication and circulation of artworks and ideas. It also reflects the era's interest in the art of the past and the ways in which artists and connoisseurs engaged with and preserved the legacy of earlier masters.

As an engraving after a renowned Baroque painter, "The Assumption of Saint Catherine of Alexandria after Mattia Preti" by Richard de Saint-Non is significant for its contribution to the dissemination of artistic styles and themes across Europe, as well as for its representation of the cultural and intellectual exchange between artists of different periods.
