EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Martyrdom of St Erasmus" a powerful oil painting created by the Netherlandish School in the 15th century. Measuring 50x69 cm, this artwork is housed at the Society of Antiquaries of London, UK. The scene depicted in this painting is both haunting and gruesome. It portrays the brutal death of St Erasmus, also known as the Bishop of Formiae, who was martyred in 305 AD. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and brutality of this event through vivid details such as disembowelling and killing. In the foreground, we see St Erasmus lying lifeless on a pulley system while his body is being gruesomely disembowelled. Surrounding him are castles and dwellings that symbolize power structures within society. A bishop's mitre lies discarded nearby, signifying religious authority. The landscape serves as a backdrop to this tragic scene, adding an element of desolation and despair. The artist's use of color and brushstrokes creates a sense of movement and tension throughout the composition. "The Martyrdom of St Erasmus" is not for those with faint hearts but rather for those seeking to explore themes such as sacrifice, faithfulness, and martyrdom within historical contexts. This print from Bridgeman Images allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail captured by the Netherlandish School centuries ago.
