St. Catherine of Siena Exorcising a Possessed Woman

The scene is set in a bright, stage-like interior where a crowd gathers around a central exorcism moment, with a possessed woman on the floor and a saintly figure in the foreground performing the rite. A raised dais at the back holds three haloed figures, giving the composition a ceremonial focal point and reinforcing the narrative of sanctity and intervention. The palette is bold and saturated—blue, red, green, black and white—applied with clear outlines and flattened modeling, a stylistic hallmark of late Gothic-Sienese painting that emphasizes storytelling and gesture over naturalistic depth.
