EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful wood engraving from the 19th century captures a haunting scene in ancient Rome: Christian martyrs being thrown to the lions in the amphitheatre. The image depicts the brutality and cruelty of this era, as men and women are bound and tied up, awaiting their fate at the hands of ferocious beasts. The Roman Empire's disdain for Christianity is evident here, with spectators eagerly watching as these brave individuals face certain death for their faith. The composition of this print is striking, showcasing both the strength and vulnerability of these martyrs. Their faces reflect courage amidst fear, while the menacing presence of lions adds an element of danger that permeates throughout. The detail in this wood engraving brings to life every emotion felt by those involved - from anguish to determination. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by early Christians who stood firm in their beliefs despite persecution. It also highlights how religion can be used as a tool for control and oppression within societies. The Granger Collection has preserved this historical moment through art, allowing us to reflect on our past and appreciate the freedom we have today to practice our own beliefs without fear of such extreme consequences.
