EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving depicts the harrowing scene of the martyrdom of the first Christians at the hands of the Romans. Created by an unknown European artist in the 19th century, this print captures a moment of intense brutality and persecution that took place during ancient times. The image showcases a group of Christian martyrs facing their impending death in an arena, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. The Roman Empire's relentless violence is evident as they carry out their cruel acts against these believers. The historical significance of this artwork lies in its portrayal of early Christianity and its struggle against oppression. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who held steadfast to their faith despite facing unimaginable horrors. Histoire De Belgique, written by Theodore Juste and published in Brussels around 1870, inspired this illustration. The digitized version presented here has been meticulously cleaned to preserve its original details. As we gaze upon this haunting image, we are reminded not only of the suffering endured by these brave individuals but also how religion can be both a source for solace and strength amidst adversity. This engraving stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as an important historical document capturing one chapter in Belgium's religious past.
