Saints Catherine of Alexandria, Barbara, Agatha, and Margaret
Giovanni di Paolo (Giovanni di Paolo di Grazia)
ca. 1470 · Tempera on wood, gold ground · European Paintings
Together with two other female saints, these panels were originally stacked in two groups of three, one above the other, to form the piers flanking the main panels of an altarpiece. By this date Giovanni di Paolo’s work must have begun to seem out of step with the naturalism of Renaissance style. For more information about these four paintings, including the other panels of the altarpiece, visit metmuseum.org.
