"Eight Apostles in Four Roundels" is an engraving by Israhel van Meckenem, a prominent German printmaker of the late 15th century. The artwork depicts eight apostles arranged in four roundels, each pair with a unique pose and attributes. The minute detail and fine lines characteristic of engravings are evident in this work. Meckenem's engravings were widely distributed, often being used as models for other artists and serving as sources of religious imagery for devotional use.
