EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history, depicting St. Ignatius, the third bishop of Antioch, in an amphitheater torn by lions. At the heart of this scene lies the monogram of Christ, "IHS", symbolizing his divine presence amidst the chaos. The foreground showcases St. Ignatius' crosier, a symbol of his spiritual authority and leadership. Adding to the ethereal atmosphere are two little angels gracefully presenting palm branches and a laurel wreath to honor St. Ignatius' martyrdom. Their delicate gestures evoke a sense of reverence and admiration for his unwavering faith. Printed by renowned artist Hieronymus Wierix between 1563 and 1619, this artwork beautifully captures both the agony endured by St. Ignatius as well as the triumph of his devotion to Christ. The Latin inscription on this print further emphasizes its historical significance and serves as a testament to St. Ignatius' enduring legacy within Christianity. Quint Lox's skillful capture allows viewers to immerse themselves in this poignant moment from centuries past, reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who stood firm in their beliefs even in times of great adversity.
