How and why did a medieval female saint from the Eastern
Mediterranean come to be such a powerful symbol in early modern
Rome? This study provides an overview of the development of the
cult of Catherine of Alexandria in Renaissance Rome, exploring in
particular how a saint's cult could be variously imaged and
'reinvented' to suit different eras and patronal interests. Cynthia
Stollhans traces the evolution of the saint's imagery through the
lens of patrons and their interests-with special focus on the
importance of Catherine's image in the fashioning of her Roman
identity-to show how her imagery served the religious, political,
and/or social agendas of individual patrons and religious orders.
