Head of an apostle 1508

This silverpoint drawing, "Head of an Apostle," exemplifies the masterful technique of Albrecht Durer, a leading figure of the Northern Renaissance. Created in 1508, it showcases Durer's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the subtle nuances of human expression. The apostle's upturned gaze and furrowed brow convey a sense of intense emotion, perhaps reflecting a moment of prayer or contemplation. This powerful depiction is a testament to Durer's skill in capturing the essence of the human form and the power of faith.
