UNKNOWN MASTER, Italian
(active in the 1330s in Florence)

St Catherine of Alexandria

c. 1330
Panel
J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles

This panel was part of a larger altarpiece containing stories from the life of St Catherine of Alexandria. It is attributed to an anonymous master called Master of the Hearst paliotto, who perhaps can be identified as Donato and Gregorio d'Arezzo.

The present panel depicts St Catherine of Alexandria, the wheel on which she was being tortured.
