Apostel Filippus 1545 - 1548

This engraving, "Apostel Filippus", by Lambertus Suavius (1514-1564) depicts the Apostle Philip. Created between 1545 and 1548, the artwork features Philip standing near a stone structure with his hand raised to his head, perhaps in prayer or contemplation. The detailed rendering of Philip's figure, his flowing robes, and the surrounding architectural elements are characteristic of Suavius's style. The small size of the work, measuring only 197 mm in height and 90 mm in width, suggests it may have been a personal devotional piece or part of a larger series. The engraving provides a glimpse into Suavius's skill in portraying religious figures with both realism and emotional depth.
