Heilige Benedictus en Filippus 1823

"Heilige Benedictus en Filippus" (Holy Benedict and Philip) is a drawing by Johann Nepomuk Strixner, created in 1823. It depicts the two saints, St. Benedict, holding a book and crosier, and St. Philip with a cross, in the Gothic architectural style, standing in a decorative background of ornately patterned wallpaper. This piece showcases Strixner's skill in portraying religious figures with a sense of reverence and detail. Strixner, known for his historical and religious themes, likely intended this work as a devotional piece for private use or as a study for a larger painting.
