Apostel Mattias met speer 1517 - 1527

This engraving by Marco Dente, created between 1517 and 1527, depicts the apostle Matthias with a spear. The artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and showcases the artist's mastery of detail and light in a black and white medium. The figure of Matthias, rendered with remarkable realism, is a testament to Dente's skill in depicting human anatomy and expressions, making this a compelling example of Renaissance art.
