Though the exact date of his birth is uncertain, he is believed to have lived during the 1st or 3rd centuries AD.

Saint Martial is shown in this scene, performing the sacred act of baptism. With a cross in hand, he immerses a person into the waters of faith, symbolizing the cleansing and rebirth of the soul. The baptismal scene is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of Christianity and the importance of spiritual renewal. The engraving's rich colors and intricate details transport us back to an age of antiquity, where the teachings of Christ were spreading across the European continent. The image of Saint Martial, as the first bishop of Limoges, holds a special place in the history of France and the broader history of Christianity.
