De heilige Paulus 19th century

"De heilige Paulus" is a 19th-century engraving by Francesco Ravano, depicting a portrait of Saint Paul, a prominent figure in early Christianity. The detailed, realistic depiction of Saint Paul's face and beard, along with the textured cloth of his robe, are characteristic of the engraving style of the 19th century. The artwork's dimensions, 301 mm in height and 235 mm in width, suggest it was likely intended for private collection and contemplation. The inscription in the lower margin reveals that the engraving was created by Francesco Ravano and that the design was by J. P. Veronese. This artwork serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Saint Paul and the power of religious imagery in art.
