St. Catherine of Siena (1347 - 1380), on the other hand, is a very influential, very considerate saint, on the other hand a stubborn, spontaneous, profound and fatal flaw. Her spiritual wisdom, especially in her conversation, is very famous and she was named the church 's first female doctor with the Teresa of Avila. Her mysterious illusion and luxurious gestures are simple and extreme. Her political advice and spiritual advice gathered the attention of the highest level church leaders. She vowed to vocational pledge, swearing virginity, charity projects, community prayers and establishing a new active religious organization (Dominican Republic) outside the traditional women's religious boundaries of that era. Can not easily characterize the complexity of Katherine, her fans continue to enjoy her wonderfully multifaceted holiness and wisdom.

Catherine is a favorite theme of several painters. Please pay particular attention to Barna de Siena's "Strange Catharina's Marvelous Marriage", "The Catherine's Marriage" by Dominica's Friar Fra Bartolomeo, and Duccio di Buoninsegna's "Maesta (Angel and Saints Madonna)". "Catherine of Siena" is one of the most famous Catherine artistic portraits of Pinturicchio. There is considerable controversy about Katherine's dietary habits, but it says that Rape of Kapua has not eaten besides the host for many years. It is an expression. He implied that she decided not to stop all food but to die not to stop all the water. "Anorexia for Religion"? This is still a question of controversy among scholars.
