Saint Margaret of Antioch. French ca. 1475

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The legend of Saint Margaret, the Early Christian martyr also known as Marina, details the many painful ordeals she endured before her eventual death during the reign of Emperor Diocletian (r. 284–305). Having been swallowed by the devil in the guise of a dragon, the saint burst unharmed from its body after making the sign of the cross.

Dating from about 1475, this work is an outstanding example of the Languedoc style of the late fifteenth century, which was centered in medieval Toulouse. This work is remarkable for the contrast of the idealism and delicacy of the figure set against the scaly and coarse textures of the lizard-turned-dragon at the base of the composition.

Saint Margaret (also known as Marina) of Antioch's life is shrouded in legend. When her father, a pagan priest, found out that Margaret converted to Christianity, he cast her out of the home. She became a shepherdess and attracted the attention of a Roman Prefect whom she rejected. He then had her tortured and she was eventually martyred. It is said that while she was in prison the devil appeared as a serpent and swallowed her but spit her out because of the cross she held. She is one of the popular Middle Ages 14 Holy Helpers and was one of the voices St. Joan of Arc heard.

As to the green-eyed monster jealousy, whom you think you have seen lurking about the grounds, set on him at once and poison him with extra doses of kindness to the person whom he wants to turn you against. A little generosity and nobleness of conduct in time will quickly free you from his visits. He is only dangerous when he is petted and pampered and encouraged.

George Porter, S.J., the future Archbishop of Bombay, in a letter written to a Sister of Mercy on September 22nd, 1873
