Saint Catherine of Siena receiving the stigmata between Saints Benedict and Jerome
1514
Saint Catherine of Siena is shown kneeling at the center with one hand raised as if receiving the stigmata, flanked on the left by Saint Benedict in pale robes and on the right by Saint Jerome in a vivid red cloak, all arranged under a classical arch supported by pillars. A blue sky and distant landscape form the background, while a patterned tiled floor and small angels above in the clouds complete the setting. The painting combines a balanced, hierarchical composition with luminous, soft modeling and a restrained palette, hallmarks of Beccafumi’s early Renaissance with subtle Mannerist refinement.
