This anonymous woodcut print, created between 1495 and 1505, depicts Saints Alexander and Theodore flanking Saint Benedict, a central figure. The three saints are depicted standing, each holding a staff. Saint Benedict is wearing a robe, while the other two saints are dressed in armor, holding shields. The artwork is framed with a simple border and features floral motifs above the saints, likely representing the natural world and their connection to the divine. This print is a testament to the artistic expression and devotional practice of the late 15th century, showcasing the importance of saints in Christian faith.
