EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oil on wood painting, created by the renowned Flemish artist Bartholomaeus Bruyn the Elder (1493-1555), depicts a significant moment in the life of Saint Cyriacus. The scene captures Pope Marcellus I (reigned 1555-1556) ordaining Cyriacus as a deacon in the hallowed halls of St. Kunibert in Cologne, Germany. The painting, executed in the Renaissance style, showcases the grandeur and solemnity of the occasion. Pope Marcellus, dressed in his papal robes and adorned with the tiara, extends his hand in blessing over Cyriacus, who humbly bows in reverence. The pope is surrounded by a group of cardinals and clergy, all dressed in their finest vestments, adding to the sense of importance and ceremony. Saint Cyriacus, a Christian martyr, is known for his miraculous escape from death multiple times. According to legend, he was thrown into a fiery furnace three times but emerged unscathed each time, earning him the nickname "the three-time burner." Eventually, he was beheaded for his faith in Rome during the reign of Emperor Decius in the third century. This painting, a masterpiece from the Bruyn workshop, is a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring power of religious art. It serves as a reminder of the deep faith and devotion that shaped the lives of saints like Cyriacus and the leaders of the Church, such as Pope Marcellus I. The painting is a precious addition to the artistic and historical record of the Christian faith and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
