A fresco of St Catherine painted shortly after her death in 1380, well before her canonisation. A donatrix kisses the hand of her patron.
See Catherine King, Renaissance Women Patrons p131.

Inscribed at the bottom: BEATA CATERINA DA SIENA SPOSA [CRISTO?]
The painting precedes her canonisation in 1461, as the title of Beata implies.

St Catherine prays at the feet of the Virgin.
The church and its altarpiece were commissioned by Giovanni Cinughi, the first bishop of Pienza and a close friend of Pius II, who had canonised St Catherine in 1461.
Like Sassetta's altarpiece, the predella depicts the foundation of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, but Matteo has multiplied the snowballs, which pop up throughtout the painting.

Saint Dominic raises his hands in amazement as Saint Catherine has a ring placed on her finger by the Christ Child. Saint Augustine, right, stands behind an unnamed Dominican beatus, probably the Blessed Costanzo da Fabriano (died 1481/2).
The work was painted as an altarpiece for the Dominican church of S. Lucia, Fabriano.
It is signed on the centre of the throne's base: LAVR/ENTIVS.I.I. / SEVERINAS / PI[N]SIT (Lorenzo da Sanseverino the second painted this).

Despite its small size (55cm x 39cm), the composition resembles a full-size altarpiece. St Catherine holds her lily and her heart; the crucifix in her hand draws the kneeling donor to her side.
At the base of the donor figure a later hand has inscribed "EFIGIES...B.GAETANI". It is unclear whether this identifies him as a beatus.

The Christ Child places a ring on the finger of St Catherine of Alexandria. He holds a ring for the other Catherine, whose hand the Virgin holds in preparation.
The work was painted for the altar in the Certosa (Charterhouse) of Pavia that was dedicated to the two Saints Catherine, probably in about 1490 during Bergognone's first period of activity in the Certosa, for which he painted ten altarpieces.
It originally had a lunette of the Pietà with Saint John and Mary Magdalene; this was bought by the National Gallery at the same time, but was lost at sea.

The tethered monkey represents man's bad nature disciplined by the Christian faith. Christ's sacrifice is symbolised by the goldfinch which the Child holds on a string.

Saint Catherine stands behind two donors, a man and a woman.
