Focus on Saint Catherine of Alexandria (Raphael) and explore the Painting materials.
Raphael employed the usual Renaissance pigments such as natural ultramarine, madder lake, ochres and lead-tin yellow. He also mixed a special kind of finely powdered glass into several pigments to speed up the drying of the oil paints.This picture was partially used on the cover of The Smashing Pumpkins album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
