EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, dating back to around 1830, depicts the legendary figure of Saint Margaret of Antioch emerging triumphantly from the belly of a fearsome dragon. Created by an anonymous Spanish artist during the 19th century, this print showcases remarkable attention to detail and skillful craftsmanship. Saint Margaret of Antioch is a prominent figure in Catholic religion, known for her unwavering faith and miraculous encounter with a monstrous creature. In this artwork, she stands tall and resolute amidst the chaos, holding a holy daisy as a symbol of purity and innocence. The fantastical creature that once threatened her life now lies defeated at her feet. Its menacing features are meticulously rendered, capturing its ferocity and power. This dramatic scene serves as an allegory for Saint Margaret's victory over evil forces through her unyielding devotion to God. This particular print is part of a private collection and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both religious iconography and artistic technique from Spain during the early 19th century. Preserved over time, it continues to inspire awe with its striking imagery and profound spiritual symbolism. Displayed here courtesy of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this enchanting engraving invites us into a world where faith conquers adversity—a timeless reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is hope for redemption.
