EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning portrait of St Margaret, dating back to 1886. The image depicts the early 4th century Christian martyr standing triumphantly on the Devil, who has taken the form of a fearsome dragon. Published in Butlers Lives of the Saints by Rev Alban Butler, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of St Margaret's story. St Margaret, also known as Marina of Antioch, was a virtuous virgin who faced imprisonment and persecution due to her unwavering faith. In this portrayal, she stands tall with a halo above her head symbolizing her saintly status. Her courageous spirit shines through as she conquers evil represented by the devilish creature beneath her feet. The vibrant colors used in this nineteenth-century print add depth and intensity to St Margaret's tale. It serves as a powerful reminder of religious devotion and martyrdom during that era. This remarkable piece not only pays homage to St Margaret but also celebrates women's strength and resilience in times of adversity. As we admire this extraordinary portrait captured by an unknown creator, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in Christian history. Through this image, we can appreciate both its artistic beauty and its significance within religious mythology.
