St. Simon from Christ and the Apostles 1519

This woodcut, created in 1519 by German artist Hans Baldung, depicts St. Simon, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. He is depicted with a saw, which symbolizes his martyrdom, and a halo, signifying his sainthood. The detailed, expressive lines of the print highlight the saint's aged face, capturing his character with realism. This piece, like much of Baldung's work, blends religious themes with Renaissance-era artistic techniques, demonstrating the dynamic artistic landscape of the time.
