EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the powerful depiction of Saint Paul of Tarsus, also known as S. Pavlvs, in a stunning architectural frame. Standing with one foot on a stone between two columns, Saint Paul exudes strength and determination. In his hand, he firmly holds a sword symbolizing his unwavering faith and commitment to spreading the teachings of Christ. Under his arm rests a book, representing his role as an influential writer and scholar within Christianity. However, the background reveals a somber scene where Saint Paul is tragically beheaded by a soldier wielding another sword. This poignant moment captures the ultimate sacrifice made by this revered apostle for his beliefs. The Latin caption below adds further depth to the image, describing possible attributes associated with Saint Paul such as books, scrolls, swords, columns, and pillar architecture. It also mentions the beheading of Paul and intriguingly suggests that three fountains may spring forth from his head. Created by Hieronymus Wierix in Keulen between 1580-1613 using paper engraving techniques, this artwork beautifully encapsulates both the triumphs and trials faced by one of Christianity's most significant figures. The Liszt Collection has preserved this historical piece for all to admire its artistic brilliance and reflect upon Saint Paul's enduring legacy.
