Apostel Filippus met kruis staand in nis 1517 - 1577

This is an engraving of Apostle Philip with a cross standing in a niche, made by an anonymous artist. The composition is structured around the verticality of the Apostle Philip, positioned centrally within an arched niche. The cross and the book act as visual anchors, drawing the eye upwards and across the figure. The Apostle's gaze and the direction of his pointing finger create a diagonal line that intersects with the vertical axis. The formal arrangement invites a reading of symbolic elements, such as the book and cross. The lines, meticulously etched, define form and texture. The cross-hatching in the background creates depth, setting Philip within a defined space, and his drapery introduces dynamism, contrasting the static architecture. Through these elements, the anonymous artist engages with representation, belief, and the symbolic weight of religious figures. This engraving is not just a visual representation but an invitation to meditate on faith.
