From godly episodes from the lives of saints to crucifixions and martyrs: visual representations opened up imaginary spaces into which the believers of the Middle Ages could empathize. Soul salvation and soul distress were thus internalized and integrated into one’s own existence. St. Vitus, as a role model for Christian piety, renounces the worldly seduction of music-making virgins. According to the legend, Veit finally found his martyrdom in a cauldron with boiling oil - or in some cases in an oven, as staged here by the “Master of the Vitus Legend”.
So he was deep fried in an oven or a cauldron/kettle
Sauce? I want to know the back story here.
An alternate universe where a zombie rose from the grave after 3 days and the sensible thing was done to the body.
Noooo! If Return of the Living Dead taught us anything, it’s that you don’t burn the bodies!
The title Google gives me is: Martyrium des hl. Veit (Vorderseite); Christus vor Kaiphas (Rückseite)
translates to “Martyrdom of Saint Vitus”, who seems to have found his demise in a kettle: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Martyrdom_of_Saint_Vitus – not in an oven.
You’ll want this one
