Apostel Thomas 1503

"Apostel Thomas" is a wood-engraving created in 1503 by German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. This small-scale piece depicts Saint Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, holding a spear and standing in a landscape. The detailed lines and intricate patterns of the engraving showcase Dürer's masterful command of the woodcut technique. "Apostel Thomas," now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is considered a significant example of Dürer's early work, demonstrating his ability to convey religious figures with precision and visual impact.
