EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Denis, the First Bishop of Paris, is depicted in this evocative image carrying his own decapitated head. A powerful symbol of faith and martyrdom, Denis is believed to have been born in Italy and brought to Paris around 250 AD to spread the word of Christianity. He was eventually arrested and sentenced to death for refusing to renounce his beliefs. According to legend, Denis was beheaded on Montmartre Hill, but as his head was being carried away, it miraculously continued to speak, inspiring his followers to build a church at the site of his execution. The image of Saint Denis carrying his head became a popular one in medieval art, symbolizing the triumph of the spirit over the body and the enduring power of faith. The exact date of Denis' death is uncertain, but it is generally accepted that he was martyred around 258 AD. This print, from the rich archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a hauntingly beautiful representation of the Saint, his halo glowing against the dark background, and his determined gaze fixed on the heavens. The intricate details of his robes and the delicate shading of the image add to the sense of reverence and awe, making it a fitting tribute to a saint whose legacy continues to inspire and captivate us today.
