The Martyrdom of Saint Ignatius of Antioch in the Circus during the Celebrations for Emperor Trajan - Russian School of the Mid-19th Century
Signed on the lower right. TITOV? Dated 1860 (?)
Era: Mid-19th Century
Technique: Oil on Canvas
Russian School
Dimentions With Frame:106 cm x 72 cm
Without Frame: 53 cm x 88 cm
The painting is signed and represents a work from the Russian school of the mid-19th century. The scene is set in an arena that could be Roman. At the center of the composition, Saint Ignatius of Antioch is depicted at the moment of his martyrdom.
The inscription in Old Russian, located at the bottom of the painting, identifies the central figure as "Stradaniye Svyatogo Muchenika Ignatiya Bogonostza Patriarkha Antiokhiyskogo" (The Suffering of Saint Martyr Ignatius, God-Bearer, Patriarch of Antioch).
Saint Ignatius is shown with his eyes turned to the heavens, accepting his fate with faith. A lion is depicted delivering a fatal bite, while other lions are poised to attack him.
In the painting, Emperor Trajan observes the scene from his royal balcony, surrounded by a crowd filling the vast amphitheater. The dramatic atmosphere is intensified by the artist's choice of colors: a palette of pastel and gray tones, enriched with striking pink light effects that highlight the scene's tragic beauty.
The Martyrdom of Saint Ignatius of Antioch.
Saint Ignatius of Antioch, who lived between 35 and 107 AD, is known as one of the early Church Fathers and the third bishop of Antioch. During the reign of Emperor Trajan, Ignatius was arrested and sentenced to be thrown to the beasts in the Roman arena, a fate reserved for Christians who refused to renounce their faith.
Ignatius embraced his martyrdom with great courage, seeing it as a way to unite fully with Christ. In his letters, he expressed a desire not to be saved from his condemnation, viewing martyrdom as the fulfillment of his faith and Christian witness.
This painting is an extraordinary example of 19th-century Russian religious art. With its dramatic composition, accurate historical details, and emotional use of color, the work offers a powerful and moving representation of the martyrdom of Saint Ignatius of Antioch.
Frame: Modern, gilded.
Light Effects: Pastel and gray colors with pink light effects that enhance the drama and spirituality of the scene.

As often in Mannerist / Late Renaissance portraits, the image of the character is accompanied by the writing that runs at the top, adding a celebratory, historicising touch to the effigy. Let's bring back the sentence here:
DON FRANCISCO DE REINOSO. CAMARERO SECRETO IESCALCO PIO QUINTO OBISCOPO CORDOBA. 68 (? O 7?)
(1534, Autillo de Campos, Spain - 1601, Córdoba)
Francisco de Reynoso was a Spanish cleric, chief chamberlain, and secretary to Pope Pius V, abbot of Husillos, and bishop of Córdoba.
He was the fourth of eleven children. His father was the seventh Lord of Autillo de Campos, and his mother was Juana de Baeza y de las Casas, daughter of Manuel de Baeza, a lawyer of the Royal Council and at the Court of Valladolid.
Francisco de Reynoso was deeply devoted to the Virgin Mary and showed a strong inclination toward religion and piety from an early age.
He studied Latin, arts, and theology at the University of Salamanca.
In 1562, he traveled to Rome with his brothers Pedro and Luis.
In January 1566, following the death of Pope Pius IV, Cardinal Antonio Michele Ghislieri was elected pope, becoming Pius V. From this period until Ghislieri's death in 1572, Francisco de Reynoso served as his chief chamberlain and secretary.
After Pope Pius V died, Francisco de Reynoso returned to Spain and lived for several years in the city of Palencia, where his brother Manuel was a canon.
He supported the Society of Jesus when it was established in Palencia, providing alms to the school's clergy and funding chairs of Letters and Theology at his own expense, as well as donating a significant number of books.
During the brief outbreak of the Black Plague...
