This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to witness a dramatic scene of martyrdom. The artwork, titled "Martyrdom Apostles St. Simon" is an etching created by the talented French artist Jacques Callot in the early 17th century. In this hauntingly beautiful piece, we see St. Simon, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, facing his ultimate sacrifice for his faith. Callot's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this tragic event to life – from the expressions on the faces of both tormentors and tormented to the intricate folds in their garments. The composition exudes a sense of tension and anguish as St. Simon bravely endures his fate with unwavering devotion. Through delicate lines and shading techniques, Callot masterfully captures not only physical suffering but also emotional turmoil.
