EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Agaputus cast to the wild beasts" we are transported back in time to witness a powerful moment of religious martyrdom. Painted by an English School artist in the 19th century, this image is part of a private collection and holds immense historical significance. The scene depicts Agaputus, a devout Protestant believer, being thrown into the midst of ferocious wild beasts. The artist skillfully captures the tension and fear on Agaputus' face as he faces his impending doom. This dramatic portrayal serves as a testament to his unwavering faith and commitment to his beliefs. This print is based on an illustration from John Foxe's renowned book, "The Book of Martys". Published around 1870 by Walter Scott, it aimed to document and celebrate the stories of Christian martyrs throughout history. Agaputus' story stands out among them as one that exemplifies courage in the face of persecution. The presence of lions symbolizes both danger and strength within this artwork. As they surround Agaputus, their fierce nature contrasts with his vulnerability but also highlights his unyielding spirit. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through Fine Art Finder for all admirers of religious art and history to appreciate its profound message. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of adversity, faith can endure against all odds.
