With a style shaped by Bartolomé Bermejo, and occasionally working with Martín Bernat, Spanish Gothic artist Miguel Ximenez was court painter for Ferdinand II of Aragon, and was sometimes aided by his son Juan. In this altarpiece, Ximenez defines Santa Catherine’s countenance with graceful understatement, yet emotion is skillfully imparted to the canvas.
