EDITORS COMMENTS
Ignatius, the Bishop of Antioch, stands resolute in the grandeur of the Colosseum, awaiting his martyrdom. This lithograph captures a poignant moment from history, as depicted by an English School artist in the 20th century. The print is part of a private collection and was originally created for an edition of the Harmsworth History of the World around 1910. In this powerful image, Ignatius stands amidst the vast arena, surrounded by wild beasts that will soon be unleashed upon him. With unwavering faith and devotion to God, he clasps his hands together in prayer while his eyes gaze heavenward. His white robes billow around him as if touched by divine grace. The symbolism within this artwork is profound; Ignatius' corn-white teeth represent purity and righteousness even in the face of imminent danger. As he awaits his fate with courage and conviction, one cannot help but admire his steadfastness. This lithograph not only portrays a historical event but also serves as a reminder of human resilience and unwavering faith during times of adversity. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and values while marveling at Ignatius' unyielding dedication to his heavenly master. Displayed alongside other fine art prints or treasured individually, this piece from Bridgeman Images adds depth to any collection with its rich historical significance.
