EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative and powerful image from the Stuttgart State Gallery in Germany, we bear witness to the martyrdom of Saint Matthias, the apostle chosen by the early Christian community to replace the notorious Judas Iscariot. The scene is set against a backdrop of a desolate and rocky landscape, with Matthias, dressed in the robes of a bishop, standing resolutely before his accusers. The moment of his martyrdom is captured in the most vivid detail. A crowd of jeering onlookers hurls stones at the saint, their faces twisted in anger and hatred. Matthias' expression remains calm and serene, his eyes fixed on the heavens as if in prayer. One hand clutches a staff, the other is raised in a gesture of blessing. Despite the relentless barrage of stones, Matthias remains unbroken. It is only when a final, deadly blow is struck with a sword that he falls to the ground, his life extinguished. The image captures the raw emotion and intensity of the moment, as well as the unwavering faith and courage of the saint in the face of persecution. This print, dating from the Stile Florentino period of the 15th century, is a testament to the enduring power of religious art to convey the profound and complex human experience. The artist, unknown to us, has masterfully captured the drama and pathos of the scene, inviting us to reflect on the enduring themes of faith, perseverance, and the human capacity for both good and evil. Saint Matthias' story is one of redemption and renewal. Chosen to replace Judas, the betrayer, he embodies the transformative power of grace and forgiveness. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring importance of these values in our own lives, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
