Saint Catherine of Alexandria scourged

The panel depicts the episode of the scourging of Saint Catherine of Alessandria, and was originally placed in Milan Duomo’s stained-glass window V14, found on the southern side of the Cathedral. Created by Corrado de Mochis (Cologne, 1525 - Milano, 1593) based on the cartoon by Giuseppe Arcimboldi (Milan, 1526-1593) in 1556. In Duomo, the panel was replaced – perhaps for conservation reasons – with a copy made by Pompeo Bertini in the 19th century. The original panel is on display in the Duomo Museum; the frame in which the image of the Saint is inserted is made with modern glass.
