The cover of my second year of Master’s degree thesis! Kind of hesitated on the style but I ended up going for some classic-ish baroque-ish thing.  Many symbols are hidden in the drawing, relatively to the story of Chrysanthus and Daria. Mostly, it represents the way the two Roman aristocrats embody a harmonious transition between the pagan classical culture and the christian one. The Victory allegory statue (cf. the Victory of Samothrace) is given a cross by Chrysanthus, thus giving it an entirely new meaning without destroying anything. The crown the pagan goddess was supposed to bring to the victors in wars becomes the crown of martyrdom and spiritual fighting. The latin phrase, Non latet Lux, means “Light cannot hide itself.” The whole drawing is about transforming without destroying, by Faith and Love.
