Heilige Filippus 1606 - 1607

This 17th-century engraving by Raffaello Schiaminossi, titled "Heilige Filippus," depicts Saint Philip. The image shows a close-up portrait of the saint, characterized by a stern, weathered face and a prominent beard. He holds a simple wooden cross in his hand, a common attribute used to identify him. The meticulous detail and deep shadows of the engraving create a strong sense of realism, highlighting Schiaminossi's skill in the art of printmaking. This artwork, now held at the Rijksmuseum, provides insight into the religious devotion and artistic practices of the early 17th century.
