Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Martyrdom of Saint Agatha Description An account of the resource "From a large number of initials cut from choir-books, attributed to the miniaturist active in Lombardy in the decades around and after 1500, some are signed B. F. (or B.). The identification of the artist is controversial. Wescher would like to recognize Francesco Binasco in him and resolve the signature as "Binasco fecit". Characteristic are the pronounced drawing style with strange bulging broken folds and the hair treatment ending in the finest curls. The ubiquitous Leonardesque influence in Milan is particularly noticeable in the faces. The initial D, formed from horns with colored leaves and a blue leaf mask on the stem, depicts the martyrdom of St. Agatha shown. Because she did not want to renounce her faith, both her breasts were cut off (legenda aurea) after a number of tortures at the behest of Prefect Quintinian, who is enthroned with the judge's staff on the left. Her tormentors have tied her to an 'ancient' pillar (which may have been the support of a pagan idol) with her arms raised, and a henchman is setting the knife. In the background, the crenellated wall of Catania delimits the place of execution." 16,2 x 16,8 cm Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource c. 1500-25 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Staatliche Museum, Berlin https://id.smb.museum/object/1051992/initiale-d-mit-martyrium-der-hl--agathe blade breasts fleur-de-lis poker saint agatha tools torture
