A portrait of Saint Agatha of Sicily. Agatha had dedicated herself to be a Consecrated Virgin but she attracted the attention of a Roman prefect.

The prefect called her back and had her tortured, cutting off her breasts, she was eventually saved from torture by St Peter who healed her wounds. St. Agatha is shown holding a plate containing her breasts. A woodcut cut by the monogrammist BTA, probably cut for a Carmelite order in Venice in the first half of the 16th century.

St. Barbara.
Sold by Tho: Bakewell next the Horn Tavern Fleet Street [n.d., c.1700].
Mezzotint, sheet 125 x 90mm. 5 x 3½". Trimmed to plate.
Saint Barbara, known in the Eastern Orthodox Church as the Great Martyr Barbara (3rd century - December 4, 306), was a Christian saint and martyr. Although there is no reference to her in the authentic early Christian writings, nor in the original recension of Saint Jerome's martyrology, veneration of her was common from the seventh century. Supposedly shut in a tower by her father Dioscurus in order to discourage suitors, she was eventually executed by his sword. Because of doubts about the historicity of her legend, she was removed from the official Catholic calendar in 1969. However, she continues to be a popular saint in modern times, perhaps best known as the patron saint of artillerymen, military engineers, miners and others who work with explosives because of her legend's association with lightning. Published by Thomas Bakewell (1670 - 1764; fl.). Very rare.

Now in the Louvre (Louvre Inv.195), it has been reattributed to Domenichino, c.1605, as a contemporary copy of Carracci's original, once in the Farnese Collection but bought by George III in 1766 and now in the Royal Collection Trust.
