Apostel Andreas 1545 - 1548

"Apostel Andreas" is an engraving by the Dutch artist Lambertus Suavius, created between 1545 and 1548. This detailed print depicts the apostle Andrew, a prominent figure in early Christianity, standing in an architectural setting. Andrew, clothed in a simple robe, leans against a wooden staff, holding a book. Suavius's masterful use of line creates a sense of depth and realism, capturing the subtle nuances of drapery and the apostle's thoughtful expression. This work exemplifies Suavius's skill in portraiture and his ability to convey religious devotion through evocative imagery.
