Caption
The Martyrdom of Saint Christopher, "Secondo Quadro", 1776. The king of Samos had Christopher tied to a pillar, and ordered four thousand soldiers to shoot arrows at him. But the arrows hung in mid-air, and not a single one of them touched Christopher. When the king shouted invectives at him, an arrow fell suddenly from the air, turned towards the king, struck him in the eye, and blinded him.
