"Martirio di Sant'Orsola" (The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula) is a Baroque painting by Italian artist Stefano Danedi, also known as il Montalto (1634–1689). This work depicts the legendary martyrdom of Saint Ursula, a Christian saint whose story is rooted in medieval lore. According to the legend, Ursula was a British princess who, along with 11,000 virgin companions, undertook a pan-European pilgrimage before being massacred by Huns at Cologne.

Danedi, a Milanese painter, was a prominent figure in the Lombard school of painting and a follower of the renowned artist Morazzone. His works are characterized by their dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as their emotional intensity, both of which are evident in "Martirio di Sant'Orsola." The painting is a testament to the Baroque style's emphasis on movement, vivid color, and theatricality.

The artwork serves not only as a religious emblem but also as a reflection of the period's artistic and cultural values. It is an example of the Counter-Reformation's influence on art, where such dramatic and emotive representations were used to inspire piety and devotion among the faithful. The painting likely held a didactic purpose, as was common for religious art of the time, aiming to educate viewers about the virtues of martyrdom and the steadfastness of faith.

"Martirio di Sant'Orsola" is significant for its art historical value, providing insight into the religious and aesthetic sensibilities of the 17th century. While the current location of the painting and its provenance are not well-documented in public records, the work remains an important piece within Stefano Danedi's oeuvre, exemplifying his skillful handling of religious subject matter and his contribution to the Baroque movement in Northern Italy.
