Sebald Beham's 1545 print, "St. Philip," is part of a series depicting the Twelve Apostles. This detailed engraving shows St. Philip, dressed in a long robe, walking with a staff and a scroll in hand. The engraving's intricate detail and use of light and shadow create a sense of realism and depth, characteristic of Beham's work. The inscription "S. PHILIPPV.S" and "ISB" (for Sebald Beham) add to the artwork's historical context. "St. Philip" is a prime example of Beham's mastery of engraving, showcasing his talent for depicting religious figures with an air of both piety and humanity.
