The Martyrdom of Saint Lucy

Jacques Bellange

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Martyrdom of Saint Lucy by Jacques Bellange: A woman in a long dress stands centered, her hands tied behind her back, surrounded by a chaotic scene. A man to her right holds her with his left hand on her shoulder and his right on a column. Another man to her left holds a spear. The woman's body faces right, her head turned left. She looks up. In the bottom right, a man lies on his back, his left arm extended. In the bottom left, a man holds a spear. A crowd of people surrounds them, some looking on, others interacting. In the background, a cityscape with buildings and columns. The image is in black and white.
