EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Holy Telemachus of Rome interrupts a gladiatorial combat, and the stoning of Saint Telemachus" we are transported back to ancient times where violence and death were an unfortunate spectacle for public entertainment. The image captures the courageous act of Holy Telemachus, a Christian hermit, who bravely steps into the Colosseum arena to interrupt a brutal fight between gladiators. The scene is filled with tension as Holy Telemachus raises his arms in an attempt to stop the fighting. His presence amidst the chaos symbolizes his unwavering faith and dedication to peace. Surrounding him are astonished onlookers - Armenians, Copts, Syrians, and other early Christians - witnessing this extraordinary act that challenges their society's acceptance of such violent spectacles. As our eyes move towards the background, we witness another tragic event unfolding: the stoning of Saint Telemachus. This juxtaposition highlights both acts of bravery against senseless violence. Jan Luyken's masterful artistry brings these historical events to life while Jacobus van Hardenberg and Barent Visscher contribute their expertise in capturing every intricate detail. This powerful image serves as a reminder that even in times when brutality seems unstoppable, there will always be individuals like Holy Telemachus who dare to stand up against injustice. Quint Lox skillfully presents us with this thought-provoking piece from Liszt Collection that invites contemplation on
