EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Saint Agatha with cut breast" we are transported to a world of religious devotion and martyrdom. The image, created by the talented trio of Schelte Adamsz. Bolswert, Peter Paul Rubens, and Cornelis Galle (II) in the late 16th to mid-17th century, depicts Saint Agatha as a symbol of strength and faith. The central focus of the artwork is Saint Agatha herself, portrayed as a virgin martyr who suffered greatly for her beliefs. She stands tall and resolute, holding various symbolic objects that represent her story. In one hand she holds a dish containing her severed breasts - an act of brutality inflicted upon her during her persecution. This gruesome detail serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who stood firm in their convictions. Behind Saint Agatha lies a burning house, symbolizing both destruction and purification through fire. A loaf of bread rests at her feet, representing sustenance and nourishment provided by God even in times of hardship. The composition is further enhanced by the presence of a taper candle and tongs - objects associated with rituals or ceremonies related to Saint Agatha's veneration. Overall, this print captures the essence of Saint Agatha's life and legacy: an unwavering dedication to faith amidst adversity. Quint Lox has masterfully preserved this historical artwork from the Liszt Collection for us to admire its beauty and contemplate its profound meaning.
