St. Dionysius, or St. Denis, was the first bishop of Paris, and a martyr. According to the Golden Legend, after being beheaded:
And anon the body of St. Denis raised himself up, and bare his head between his arms, as the angel led him two leagues from the place, which is said the hill of the martyrs, unto the place where he now resteth, by his election, and by the purveyance of God. And there was heard so great and sweet a melody of angels that many of them that heard it believed in our Lord.This scene is surrounded by a border built of interconnecting units of millefleur ornament taken from my various ink drawings.
The print is about one and a half times larger than the original artwork.
