EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the powerful image of St. Thecla of Iconium, a renowned virgin martyr, surrounded by a mesmerizing array of symbolic creatures and elements. Created by the talented printmaker Hieronymus Wierix between 1563 and 1619, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of St. Thecla's story. In the foreground, we see St. Thecla herself standing on a mountain, firmly tied to a pole by soldiers as an act of persecution. Despite her precarious situation, she exudes strength and serenity in her face and posture. Surrounding her are four majestic animals - a lion, bear, bull, and deer - representing various attributes associated with her life. The presence of flames symbolizes both danger and divine protection that encompassed St. Thecla throughout her journey as depicted in biblical accounts such as Sirach 51 (Latin: Sir). These flames do no harm to our courageous saint but rather serve as testament to her unwavering faith. Hieronymus Wierix masterfully brings together these elements into one harmonious composition that invites viewers to reflect upon the virtues exemplified by St. Thecla's life - courage in the face of adversity, steadfast devotion to God's will, and resilience against all odds. Quint Lox has skillfully captured this extraordinary piece from the Liszt Collection for us all to appreciate its profound beauty and significance beyond commercial use. "
