EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century wood engraving portrays St. Margaret or Marina of Antioch, an early 4th-century virgin Christian martyr. The print showcases her standing triumphantly on the Devil in the form of a fearsome dragon, symbolizing her victory over evil. In her hand, she holds a palm frond, representing her martyrdom and unwavering faith. St. Margaret's serene expression and radiant halo highlight her divine connection as she gazes confidently into the distance. Her regal crown further emphasizes her status as a saintly figure within Christianity. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this legendary woman who dedicated herself to serving God amidst persecution and adversity. This portrayal beautifully combines elements of mythology and religious symbolism to depict St. Margaret's remarkable story. Originating from France, this wood engraving exhibits vibrant colors that bring life to every detail – from the intricate patterns on St. Margaret's flowing gown to the scales on the menacing dragon beneath her feet. As we admire this portrait, we are reminded of St. Margaret's courage and devotion that continue to inspire believers around the world today. Through this print, Anon pays homage to one of Christianity's revered saints while showcasing their artistic talent in capturing both mythological creatures and spiritual icons with equal finesse.
