EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, Gijsbert Van Veen masterfully captures the intense moment of the "Martyrdom of Saint Catherine". The engraving, created in the 16th century, depicts a scene filled with fear and divine intervention. Saint Catherine stands at the center of attention, dressed in flowing robes that billow around her as she gestures towards an angelic figure hovering above. Her face is etched with fright as she faces her impending martyrdom. Surrounding her are soldiers clad in armor, their helmets casting shadows over their determined expressions. A ray of light pierces through the darkness, illuminating Saint Catherine's plight and symbolizing divine presence amidst chaos. The dramatic contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this powerful image. Van Veen's meticulous attention to detail brings forth every emotion felt by those present during this religious event. The print showcases his Dutch heritage artistry while paying homage to Bernardino Passari's original work from which it was inspired. Displayed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, this engraving serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by both Van Veen and Passari. It invites viewers into a world where faith is tested but ultimately triumphs over adversity. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we cannot help but be moved by its depiction of courage in the face of persecution and find solace in Saint Catherine's unwavering devotion to her beliefs.
