St Sebald in the Niche 1520

"St Sebald in the Niche" is a woodcut by Albrecht Dürer, one of the most celebrated German Renaissance artists, created in 1520. This detailed artwork depicts St. Sebald, a patron saint of Nuremberg, standing in a niche and holding a model of the Sebalduskirche, a church in Nuremberg, Germany. Dürer’s masterful use of line and detail bring the saint's attire and the church model to life, showcasing his skills in both realism and symbolism.
