| Description |
English: Leopold Schulz, The Martyrdom of St. Florian, 1837 in Austria. The painting closely follows the 9th-century Passio Sancti Floriani: With the permission of the guards Florian has been praying for an hour with his hands extended like Christ's on the cross when an impatient youth rushes forward to toss him off the bridge and into the River Enns. The stone weight is also an element in the ancient narrative, which compares it to the Roman governor's stony heart and the idols of stone that Christians reject (Acta Sanctorum, May vol. 1, 465). The SPQR (for the Latin of "Senate and People of Rome") on the bridge post anchors the scene in the time of the Roman Empire.
To the left of the post is a sheathed sword. There is no sword in the legend. Perhaps it refers to St. Florian's profession as a military officer, now "sheathed" because he has abandoned it for life in Christ?
Español: El Martirio de San Florian, pintado por Leopold Schultz en 1837 en Austria. La pintura sigue de cerca la Passio Sancti Floriani del siglo IX: con el permiso de los guardias, Florian ha estado orando durante una hora con las manos extendidas como las de Cristo en la cruz cuando un joven impaciente se apresura a arrojarlo del puente al río. Enns. El peso de piedra es también un elemento de la narración antigua, que lo compara con el corazón de piedra del gobernador romano y los ídolos de piedra que los cristianos rechazan (Acta Sanctorum, vol. 1 de mayo, 465). El SPQR (por el latín de "Senado y Pueblo de Roma") en el poste del puente ancla la escena en la época del Imperio Romano. A la izquierda del poste hay una espada envainada. No hay espada en la leyenda. ¿Quizás se refiere a la profesión de San Florián como oficial militar, ahora "enfundada" porque la ha abandonado para vivir en Cristo? |
