Bernardo Daddi (c. 1280 – 1348)
was an early Italian renaissance painter.
I love his many paintings of
Saint Catherine of Alexandria
Saint Catherine is a Christian saint who is claimed
to have been a noted scholar in the early 4th century.
She was also known as Saint Catherine of the Wheel.
(Because she was condemned to death on the breaking wheel)
According to legend, the wheel itself broke
when she touched it.
