EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a representation of Saint Perpetuus and his martyrdom in Carthage. Created by the talented xylographer Hartmann Schedel, this artwork is part of his renowned "Chronicles of Nuremberg" from 1493. The image captures the essence of devotion and sacrifice as it depicts the holy figure enduring his ultimate test for faith. Saint Perpetuus stands at the center, surrounded by an aura of divine light that illuminates his serene face. His posture exudes strength and determination despite the imminent danger he faces. The intricate details carved into the woodblock reveal every fold in his garments and every strand of hair on his head, showcasing Schedel's exceptional craftsmanship. The scene transports us back to ancient Carthage, where Saint Perpetuus met his tragic fate for refusing to renounce Christianity. This powerful portrayal serves as a reminder of the unwavering commitment to one's beliefs even in times of persecution. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully captured this historic engraving through photography, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and significance today. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of Saint Perpetuus' martyrdom but also of our own capacity for courage and steadfastness in our spiritual journeys.
