Apostel Filippus met kruis 1517 - 1527

This engraving, "Apostel Filippus met kruis," by Marcantonio Raimondi, depicts the apostle Philip, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, holding a cross and a book. Created between 1517 and 1527, the artwork shows the apostle with a long beard and wearing a long robe. The engraving uses cross-hatching to create a sense of depth and detail. Raimondi was known for his skill in reproducing the works of other artists, and this print is likely based on a lost painting or drawing by a Renaissance master. "Apostel Filippus met kruis" is an excellent example of the art of engraving and the depiction of biblical figures in Renaissance art.
