St. Simon, from Apostles n.d.

"St. Simon," an engraving by German artist Martin Schongauer (1435-1491), portrays the apostle standing with a book in his left hand, his right hand resting on a column. The engraving, characterized by intricate details and realistic rendering, exemplifies Schongauer's mastery of the medium. The work is considered a significant example of Northern Renaissance art, particularly within the context of religious iconography. This piece, currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, provides a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities and theological themes prevalent in 15th-century Europe.
