The artwork is part of a private collection and depicts a scene from "The History of the Life and Death of the Ever-Blessed Jesus Christ, Saviour of the World" by Jeremy Taylor, published in London in 1678. In this powerful image, we witness St John's martyrdom as he fearlessly stands against persecution for his faith.

This artwork serves as a reminder of the enduring power that religion holds over individuals throughout history. It highlights not only Christian values but also explores broader themes such as faith, belief, persecution, and violence.
