EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "St Catherine, 1886" takes us back to the 19th century with its rich colors and intricate details. Published in Butlers Lives of the Saints, DIV 1 by the Rev Alban Butler, this artwork showcases the remarkable life of St Catherine of Alexandria. The image portrays a strong and resilient woman standing against a backdrop that hints at ancient Egypt. With her halo shining brightly above her head, she holds a book in one hand symbolizing knowledge and literature. In her other hand rests a sword, representing both her martyrdom and her unwavering faith. St Catherine's story is one of great courage and devotion to Christianity. Born in Rome during the 4th century, she became an influential figure known for defending her beliefs even under extreme persecution. The wheel depicted beside her alludes to the torture she endured before ultimately being beheaded for refusing to renounce her faith. This portrait beautifully captures St Catherine's strength as well as the artistic style prevalent during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and bring historical figures like St Catherine into our present-day consciousness. As we admire this print from Unknown creator alongside Alban Butler's written account of St Catherine's life, we are reminded of the enduring power of religious devotion throughout history.
