EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a part of the renowned "Saint Christina Part series" consisting of 24 representations of female martyrs. Created by the talented artist Adriaen Collaert in Antwerp between 1590 and 1610, this particular piece focuses on Saint Christina, a virgin martyr from Bolsena. The artwork is meticulously detailed, featuring intricate borders adorned with vibrant flowers and enchanting animals. The attributes associated with Saint Christina are thoughtfully depicted throughout the engraving. These include arrows symbolizing her suffering, a book representing her devotion to faith, flames signifying her ultimate sacrifice, a millstone denoting her miraculous survival when thrown into water, tongs recalling an attempted execution method involving hot irons or firebrands, a snake alluding to Satan's temptations she resisted, wheels symbolizing torture devices used against her body, as well as birds and flowers adding grace and beauty to the composition. Measuring approximately 196 mm in height and 150 mm in width on paper medium through the technique of engraving; this print captures both religious significance and artistic excellence. It serves as an exquisite testament to Collaert's skillful craftsmanship while honoring the bravery and devotion of Saint Christina alongside other remarkable female martyrs.
