The Miracle of St. Bernard (copy) 1512 - 1600

"The Miracle of St. Bernard" is a woodcut print created by the German Renaissance artist Hans Baldung. The artwork, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, features St. Bernard kneeling in prayer while Christ, depicted with a crown of thorns, leans down towards him in a gesture of blessing. This woodcut exemplifies the expressive style of Baldung, known for his dramatic and emotive depictions of religious subjects. The use of detailed lines and the contrasting light and dark tones contributes to the powerful visual storytelling.
