EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Martyrdom of St. Ursula" a remarkable painting from the early 17th century by Peter Witte, also known as Pietro Candido. The artwork measures 41x31 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. "The Martyrdom of St. Ursula" depicts a dramatic scene inspired by the Golden Legend and the legend of the eleven thousand virgins. In this panel, we witness St. Ursula's tragic fate unfold before our eyes. With bow and arrow in hand, she stands fearlessly amidst a chaotic slaughter led by merciless assailants. Despite her impending demise, an angel hovers above her, symbolizing divine protection and guidance during her martyrdom. This juxtaposition between violence and spirituality creates a powerful narrative that resonates with viewers even today. Witte's masterful technique shines through in every brushstroke, capturing both the emotional intensity of the moment and intricate details within each figure present on the panel. As we contemplate this profound work of art captured beautifully in this photo print, we are reminded not only of St. Ursula's sacrifice but also of humanity's enduring fascination with tales that blend history with mythology—a testament to our collective desire for meaning and transcendence throughout time.
