The artwork depicts the Christian martyrdom of Florian during the persecution led by Diocletian in 304 AD. According to historical accounts, Florian was cast into a river near Lorch, Austria as punishment for his faith. Altdorfer's masterpiece captures the intensity and brutality of this tragic event.
