Explanation: In Christian art, Saint Barbara is customarily identified by the tower in which she was imprisoned by her pagan father, Dioscorus. According to legend, when she professed Christianity and refused marriage, she was tortured and killed by Dioscorus, before he was suddenly struck by lightning and turned into ashes. She became a saint associated with military professions, engineers and architects. Image: St Barbara, 15th century, Italian School; Museums Sheffield
