Ten Thousand Martyrs (I diecimila martiri), by Pontormo, 1529, 16th century, oil on board, 65 x 73 cm
Whole artwork view. The painting shows at the same time the scene of the conviction, in the right foreground, and the various types of martyrdom around it: the baptism of the soldiers, the capture of the legion, the stoning and killing with daggers, walking on nails, crucifixion; the emperor, sitting at the centre, imposes orders to scourge on the right, turning his back on the viewer
