The Martyrdom of Saint Barbara
Martyred a woman named Saint Barbara.
According to legend, Saint Barbara was executed by her heathen father, Dioscorus, when she refused to recant her Christian faith. Luxuriously dressed, she seems here to calmly accept her fate as she kneels before Dioscorus, who raises his sword to behead her. Description from The Metropolitan Museum of Art
