The Young Martyr (French: La Jeune Martyre) is an oil painting by the French painter Paul Delaroche. It was completed in 1855[1] and is based on the Romantic style of genre painting. It is held at the Louvre, in Paris. The first version of the painting is from 1853 and is held at the Hermitage Museum, in Saint Petersburg.
The Young Martyr represents both Delaroche's emphasis on historical accuracy and flair for drama and emotionality in painting as it depicts the historical martyrdom of a Christian woman, while, at the same time, an otherworldly halo, emanating above the Martyr's forehead, emphasizes the painting's dramatic, emotional effect.
