"The Martyrdom of Saint Lucy" is an etching by the French artist Jacques Bellange, created in the early 17th century. Bellange, known for his distinctive and expressive Mannerist style, was a court painter and printmaker in the Duchy of Lorraine. This particular work is notable for its dramatic depiction of the martyrdom of Saint Lucy, a Christian saint who was killed for her faith during the Diocletianic Persecution.

The etching portrays the moment of Saint Lucy's martyrdom with a strong emphasis on emotional intensity and the use of dramatic lighting, which was characteristic of the Baroque period. The composition is rich in detail and features a variety of figures, including the saint herself, her executioners, and onlookers, all rendered with a sense of movement and theatricality. Bellange's use of line and shadow in the etching contributes to the overall sense of depth and texture, enhancing the narrative and emotional impact of the scene.

Saint Lucy, known for her vow of chastity and her charitable work, is often depicted in art holding her eyes on a plate, a reference to one of the tortures she is said to have endured. In Bellange's rendition, however, the focus is on the moment of her death, which serves to highlight her martyrdom and sanctity. The work is an important example of Bellange's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Baroque art and its religious iconography.

"The Martyrdom of Saint Lucy" by Jacques Bellange is held in high regard for its artistic merit and is studied for its historical and cultural significance. It remains an important piece within the canon of European art history and offers insight into the religious and artistic sensibilities of the period in which it was created.
