Sankt Jakob den ældre 1598 - 1609

"Sankt Jakob den ældre" (Saint James the Greater) is an engraving by Dutch artist Nicolaes de Bruyn, dating back to 1598-1609. Depicting the apostle James holding a staff and book, the artwork showcases de Bruyn's skill in capturing detail and realism. The figure is prominently placed, surrounded by a landscape, while two angels can be seen in a building behind him. The artwork, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the religious imagery prevalent during the artist's lifetime.
