EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Antonie Wierix (III), dating back to the late 16th century, we witness a dramatic scene unfolding. St. Lawrence, known for his unwavering faith and martyrdom, lies upon a lattice while surrounded by an intense fire. His executioners diligently stoke the flames, their faces filled with determination. As the prefect watches closely, intrigued by this spectacle of devotion and sacrifice, he is joined by other curious spectators who have gathered to witness this extraordinary event. The atmosphere is tense as everyone awaits the outcome. However, amidst this harrowing scene emerges a glimmer of hope from above. Two angels descend from heaven bearing a laurel wreath - a symbol of victory and honor in ancient times. This heavenly gesture brings solace and reassurance that St. Lawrence's suffering will not be in vain. The print captures both the physical agony endured by St. Lawrence on the gridiron and the spiritual triumph that transcends it all. It serves as a powerful reminder of courage in the face of adversity and unwavering commitment to one's beliefs. Attributed to Antonie Wierix (III) but possibly created by another artist within his circle such as Hieronymus Wierix or Pieter van der Borcht Piermans, this artwork has stood the test of time as an enduring testament to human resilience and divine intervention.
