"The Martyrdom of Saint Lucy" (w. 16; G. & H. 12) is a notable etching by the French artist Jacques Bellange, who was active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Bellange is renowned for his distinctive and highly expressive style, which often incorporates dramatic compositions and intricate details. This particular work exemplifies his mastery in capturing intense emotional scenes through the medium of etching.

The subject of the etching, Saint Lucy, is a revered Christian martyr who is celebrated for her unwavering faith and tragic death. According to legend, Lucy was a young woman of noble birth who vowed to remain a virgin and dedicate her life to God. Her refusal to marry a pagan suitor led to her persecution and eventual martyrdom. In Bellange's depiction, the moment of her martyrdom is rendered with a profound sense of drama and pathos, characteristic of the Baroque period's emphasis on emotional intensity and movement.

Bellange's etching technique is particularly noteworthy for its intricate line work and the use of light and shadow to create depth and texture. The composition is dynamic, with figures arranged in a way that guides the viewer's eye through the scene, emphasizing the central figure of Saint Lucy. Her serene expression amidst the chaos around her underscores her spiritual fortitude and the divine grace believed to be bestowed upon martyrs.

"The Martyrdom of Saint Lucy" is part of a larger body of work by Bellange that often explores themes of religious devotion and sacrifice. His etchings are highly valued for their artistic and historical significance, providing insight into the religious and cultural milieu of early 17th-century France. Bellange's works, including this etching, continue to be studied and admired for their technical brilliance and emotional depth, securing his place as a significant figure in the history of printmaking.
