Lucas van Leyden's 1517 engraving "Saints Peter and Paul with the Vernicle" depicts the two apostles holding up the cloth known as the Veronica, which bears the image of Christ's face. The engraving is known for its detailed rendering of the figures, particularly the expressive faces and the intricate folds of the cloth. The image is a powerful reminder of Christ's suffering and the power of faith. It's an important example of Northern Renaissance art.
