EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic image of St. Lucy, as depicted in Liber Chronicarum by Hartmann Schedel. Created by a German artist from the 15th century, this woodcut beautifully captures the essence of this revered saint. St. Lucy, who lived during the early fourth century, is known for her unwavering faith and martyrdom under Emperor Diocletian's persecution. The image portrays her holding a sword, symbolizing her brutal death at the hands of her oppressors. Despite facing such adversity, St. Lucy's serene expression exudes strength and determination. The focal point of this artwork lies on St. Lucy's neck adorned with a crown - an emblematic representation of her sainthood and devotion to God. Her throat is exposed as a reminder of how she was silenced through violence but triumphed through faith. This powerful depiction invites viewers to reflect upon themes of sacrifice, resilience, and religious devotion that are central to St. Lucy's story. It serves as a testament to her enduring legacy as one of Christianity's most revered martyrs. As part of a private collection and now available in the public domain due to its age, this photograph offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty without any commercial implications attached.
