St. Catherine of Siena besieged by demons
1499
The painting centers on Saint Catherine of Siena in a white habit with a white veil and a dark mantle, standing with a calm, downcast expression as demonic figures surround her from all sides and seize her garments and limbs. The composition tightens around the saint, with twisting demon forms forming an enveloping arc that creates a sense of siege and struggle. The gold-toned background and stylized, elongated figures blend medieval icon-like elements with a vigorous, expressive brushwork, using greens, browns, and reds for the demons against the pale white of her robe.
