Commas and Damian 1800 - 1900

"Commas and Damian" is an anonymous woodcut print that depicts two saints, Cosmos and Damian, standing next to each other. The print is characterized by its bold lines and use of color, which are typical of woodcuts from the 18th and 19th centuries. The figures are depicted in a stylized fashion, with their features and garments rendered in a simplified manner. The saints are shown holding objects that are symbolic of their respective roles. The inscription above the figures identifies them as saints and the print was likely used as a devotional image.
