St James Minor, from Apostles n.d.

"St James Minor, from Apostles" is a fine example of a print by Martin Schongauer, a prominent German engraver active in the late 15th century. The work depicts St James, a disciple of Jesus, standing with his hands clasped and a staff in his right hand. Schongauer's detailed engraving technique is evident in the careful rendering of St. James's clothing, his expressive face, and the subtle textures of the background. The print is a testament to Schongauer's mastery of the engraving medium and his ability to create an image that is both realistic and deeply evocative. This engraving is part of a series of engravings of the Apostles, further illustrating Schongauer's impact on religious imagery in the late 15th century.
