Heilige Simon c. 1520 - 1550

"Heilige Simon" is a small etching by Antonio da Trento, dating from around 1520-1550. The artwork depicts Saint Simon, a figure revered in early Christian tradition. Simon stands in a simple, yet dignified pose, holding a staff and facing the viewer. His robes, rendered in subtle shades of brown, are subtly draped, emphasizing his noble stature. The etching's small size (124 mm x 70 mm) suggests its potential use as a devotional object, intended for private reflection or contemplation. Da Trento's mastery of etching is evident in the delicate lines and subtle tonal variations that give the work a sense of depth and realism.
