Heilige Brigitta 1503

This woodcut, created by the renowned German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer in 1503, depicts Saint Bridget of Sweden kneeling in prayer as Jesus Christ appears to her in a vision. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Dürer's masterful use of line and detail, capturing the intensity of Bridget's devotion and the divine presence of Christ. The composition is simple but evocative, highlighting the connection between the saint and the divine, with the figures positioned in a harmonious and spiritual embrace.
