EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative and powerful image from the late 15th or early 16th century, Saint Matthias, the apostle chosen to replace Judas Iscariot after his betrayal of Jesus, is depicted in the background being subjected to a grueling martyrdom. The scene unfolds as Matthias, dressed in the traditional robes of an apostle, stands firm against a backdrop of rugged cliffs or rocky terrain. A crowd of assailants, their faces contorted with anger and determination, hurl stones at him with relentless intensity. Despite the barrage of projectiles, Matthias remains unyielding, his gaze fixed on the heavens as if seeking divine intervention. Yet, the cruelty of his persecutors does not end there. In one hand, Matthias clutches an axe, a grim reminder of the brutal fate that awaits him. As the stones continue to rain down, the assassins prepare to deliver the final blow, raising the axe high above their heads. This historical image, held by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a poignant and haunting portrayal of Saint Matthias' martyrdom. The use of chiaroscuro, or strong contrasts between light and dark, heightens the drama and intensity of the scene, while the intricate details of the figures and their clothing reveal the skill and artistry of the artist. The story of Matthias' selection as an apostle and his subsequent martyrdom is an intriguing chapter in the history of Christianity. According to the Acts of the Apostles, Matthias was chosen by lot to replace Judas Iscariot, who had betrayed Jesus and then hanged himself. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the trials and tribulations faced by early Christian martyrs, and the unwavering faith and courage they displayed in the face of adversity.
