St. Maria Goretti – Portrait of Purity and Martyrdom
This charcoal drawing presents a rare and reverent image of St. Maria Goretti, rendered with great care and sensitivity. Unlike many stylized depictions, this portrait is based closely on the only known photograph of Maria, offering what is likely the most faithful artistic representation of her actual face. Her expression is soft yet solemn, inviting the viewer into the mystery of her interior strength and profound innocence.
In her arms, she cradles a bouquet of lilies—each one symbolizing a stab wound inflicted during the brutal attack that ultimately claimed her life. These lilies are not merely symbols of purity, but living witnesses to her heroic virtue, her steadfast refusal to sin, and the forgiveness she offered her attacker as she lay dying. The composition gently honors her spiritual beauty without sentimentality, grounding her sanctity in the reality of suffering transformed by grace.
This piece invites meditation on purity, mercy, and the quiet courage of this young saint whose legacy continues to inspire hearts to chastity, forgiveness, and holiness.
