This woodcut, "St. Philip from Christ and the Apostles" by Hans Baldung, is a striking example of the artist’s mastery of detail and dramatic composition. The piece depicts St. Philip, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, in a dignified pose, with an expressive face that conveys a sense of both strength and spirituality. The use of light and shadow in the background adds depth and drama, emphasizing the saint's importance. The artwork was created in 1519 and reflects the artistic trends of the German Renaissance.
