Saint Catherine of Alexandria (Saint Catherine d'Alexandrie)

Hi everyone! My name is Isabella, and I'm so excited to explore this amazing painting with you all today! It's called Saint Catherine of Alexandria. nn This painting is about a very special woman named Saint Catherine. Can you say "Saint Catherine?" She was known for being super smart and kind. In this picture, she's sitting very peacefully on a cloud. What do you think it feels like to sit on a cloud? nn Look closely! Do you see the angel above her? Angels are like messengers from heaven. This angel is bringing messages of peace and hope. Can you try to make the peace sign with your hand like the angel? nn Now, let's look at the colors. The artist, Domenico Maria Canuti, used mostly brown. Brown can sometimes make us think of things that are calm and peaceful. Do you feel calm when you look at this painting? nn See you next time!
