This engraving, created by the Master FVB, depicts Saint Judas Thaddaeus. The work dates from around the late 15th century and features a detailed portrait of the apostle. Saint Judas Thaddaeus is presented as a figure of authority, dressed in flowing robes and holding a book. The artist utilizes a distinctive hatching technique to define form and texture, and the overall composition is a strong example of the art of the German Renaissance.
