EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Tarcisius, a Christian martyr from the 3rd-4th century. Created by Jean Alexandre Joseph Falguiere in 1868, this marble sculpture stands at an impressive size of 64.5x140.7x59.9 cm and is currently housed in the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France. Tarcisius was a deacon or layman who met his tragic fate while bravely fulfilling his duty to bring Communion to prisoners. In this powerful image, we witness the moment when he was attacked by a Pagan mob for defending the sacred host. The artist masterfully portrays Tarcisius's pain and agony as he valiantly holds onto his faith amidst brutal persecution. Falguiere's attention to detail is evident in every inch of this exquisite sculpture; each crease on Tarcisius's robe and every expression etched on his face tells a story of unwavering devotion and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the immense courage displayed by individuals like Tarcisius throughout history who were willing to die for their beliefs. This photograph print serves as both a tribute to their memory and an invitation for us to reflect on our own convictions. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, "Tarcisius, Christian Martyr" invites viewers into a profound exploration of faith, resilience, and the enduring power of conviction against all odds.
