EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1868 depicts the tragic scene of the Death of Saint Lievin the Great, also known as Livin, Lebwin, or Livinus. As an evangelizer of Flanders during the 7th century, he dedicated his life to spreading Christianity in this region. The artist's attention to detail and skillful use of black and white creates a powerful image that transports us back to this significant moment in history. Saint Lievin's martyrdom is depicted with great emotion and reverence. We see him surrounded by holy clergy, standing tall even in his final moments. The composition evokes a sense of solemnity and spirituality as we witness this brave saint meeting his fate. The engraving is part of Theodore Juste's "Histoire de Belgique" a comprehensive account of Belgium's history up until the reign of Leopold I. This particular print captures an important chapter in religious history, showcasing Saint Lievin's unwavering dedication to his faith despite facing persecution. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded not only of Saint Lievin's sacrifice but also the enduring power and influence religion has had throughout human history. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times long past, individuals like Saint Lievin played crucial roles in shaping our beliefs and cultures. This remarkable piece now resides within a private collection but continues to inspire awe and contemplation for those fortunate enough to encounter it.
