Saint Catherine of Alexandria by Timothy Cole
Timothy Cole's exceptional 1889 wood engraving brilliantly captures the spiritual essence of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, meticulously rendered after Simone Martini's 14th-century tempera and oil masterpiece. This photogravure on fine vellum exemplifies Cole's renowned precision in interpreting Old Italian Masters for The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine. The composition features the Christian martyr adorned with the symbolic implements of her martyrdom—the sword and spiked wheel—executed with the meticulous artistry that characterizes Cole's distinguished career. It represents a significant acquisition for any collection of fine prints and historical art reproductions.
