EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful representation of Saint Felicite's martyrdom in Rome with the heads of his seven children. Created by Hartmann Schedel, a renowned xylographer, this artwork is part of his notable work "Chronicles of Nuremberg" from 1493. The xylography technique used in this piece adds depth and texture to the portrayal, making it even more striking. Saint Felicite's story is one of immense sacrifice and unwavering faith. Despite facing unimaginable tragedy, he remained steadfast in his devotion to God. This image captures the heart-wrenching moment when Saint Felicite was martyred alongside his beloved children. The composition skillfully conveys both anguish and spiritual strength. The expressions on Saint Felicite's face and those of his children evoke deep emotions within the viewer, reminding us of their immense suffering for their beliefs. This print serves as a testament to religious martyrdom throughout history and invites contemplation on the sacrifices made for faith. It speaks to our shared human experience - our capacity for resilience in times of adversity and our unyielding commitment to what we hold dear. Giancarlo Costa has beautifully captured this engraving, preserving its historical significance while allowing contemporary audiences to appreciate its timeless message. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded that art has the power not only to captivate but also to inspire reflection on profound aspects of human existence such as religion and sacrifice.
