The artwork, now part of a private collection, depicts a significant moment in Christian history. St Ursula, a revered saint, is depicted as a female figure facing her impending death with unwavering faith. The scene unfolds within an encampment where soldiers and archers surround St Ursula's tent. Their bows and arrows symbolize the imminent threat to her life. Despite this perilous situation, St Ursula remains steadfast in her devotion to Christianity. Memling's masterful technique brings depth and emotion to this powerful image. The fine details capture every nuance of expression on each character's face, conveying their inner turmoil or determination. This engraving was originally featured in the Handbook of the Arts of the Middle Ages and Renaissance—an invaluable resource for art enthusiasts seeking insights into historical periods.
