EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful wood engraving captures the martyrdom of Saints Perpetua and Felicitas at the Roman Colosseum in 203 AD. The scene depicts an interior view of the ancient arena, filled with a crowd of spectators witnessing this tragic event. John Foxe's Book of Martyrs, published in America in 1832, immortalizes this momentous occasion. The image showcases the discrimination and persecution faced by early Christians during that time. Perpetua and Felicitas, two brave women who stood firm in their faith, are depicted as martyrs for their beliefs. In the center of the engraving stands a bull, symbolizing their impending death through execution. The artist skillfully portrays the emotions on both sides - from the somber expressions on Perpetua and Felicitas' faces to the curiosity and intrigue evident among those watching from above. This print serves as a reminder of not only these specific saints but also countless others who sacrificed their lives for what they believed in. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical artwork, allowing us to reflect upon an era when religious intolerance was rampant. It is important to remember these stories as we strive towards a more inclusive society where everyone can freely practice their faith without fear or discrimination.
