EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite ivory panel from the 4th century, depicting the dramatic scene of the stoning of St Paul. The panel, believed to have originated in Rome and now part of the British Museum's collection, is a testament to ancient artistry and religious devotion. In this striking image, we witness a moment filled with tension and aggression. A group of men surrounds St Paul, their faces contorted with anger as they prepare to unleash violence upon him. One man stands out among them, his arm raised in a threatening gesture that heightens the sense of fear and danger. The artist skillfully captures the emotions running high in this pivotal event from Christian history. The intricate details on the ivory panel bring every figure to life - their expressions reflecting both determination and trepidation. As we gaze at this remarkable artifact, it transports us back in time to Italy during the 4th century. We can almost feel ourselves standing amidst those who witnessed this violent act unfold before their eyes. This photograph by CM Dixon allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder of how religion has shaped societies throughout centuries and continues to inspire awe today.
