This 15th-century woodcut, titled "St. Christopher," depicts the saint wading through a river, carrying the Christ child on his shoulders. St. Christopher is a popular subject in religious art, known for his strength and ability to help those in need. The woodcut's bold lines and simple composition emphasize the drama of the scene, while the use of color adds a sense of depth and richness. This work, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies the power of religious imagery in the art of the late Middle Ages.
