Martyrdom of a Jesuit 

"Martyrdom of a Jesuit" is a drawing by Italian artist Lazzaro Baldi, active during the 17th century. The artwork is a study for a larger painting, and depicts a dramatic scene of a Jesuit priest being martyred, likely in a foreign land, as he kneels and raises his hands in prayer. The scene is filled with other figures, some in prayer, some witnessing the martyrdom. Baldi's drawing demonstrates a skillful use of light and shadow to create depth and movement in the scene. This drawing is held in the Städel Museum, a renowned art museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
