EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning artwork titled "St. Catherine of Alexandria Freed from the Wheel" created by Pseudo Jacopino di Francesco in the early 14th century. The painting, measuring 63.5x81.9 cm, is housed at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. The image depicts a dramatic scene from Christian mythology as St. Catherine is miraculously freed from her torturous punishment on a spiked wheel known as the "Catherine wheel". The artist skillfully employs tempera and gold leaf on panel to bring this powerful moment to life. Intriguingly, amidst a chaotic background filled with fire and a pile of deceased figures lies an angelic presence overseeing this heroic act of liberation. This portrayal adds depth and symbolism to the narrative, emphasizing divine intervention in times of tragedy. Pseudo Jacopino's Italian influence is evident through his meticulous attention to detail and dynamic composition that captures both action and emotion within each figure portrayed. Thanks to the generous gift from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, art enthusiasts can now appreciate this timeless masterpiece at one of America's esteemed cultural institutions. This awe-inspiring print not only celebrates European artistic heritage but also invites viewers into an enthralling story where faith triumphs over adversity while showcasing humanity's enduring fascination with biblical narratives and heroic acts depicted through artistry.
