watercolour illustration

This woodcut, created by an anonymous artist around 1450–1470, depicts Saint Christopher carrying the Christ Child across a river. The image is a fragment of a larger work, showing the saint's journey, and the artist employs linear and stylistic conventions of the early Northern Renaissance. While the artist remains unknown, the woodcut serves as a testament to the rich tradition of religious imagery in Europe. The stylized figures and the detailed depiction of the landscape and the water demonstrate the artist's skill in depicting religious themes.
