"St. John the Baptist Preaching," a woodcut by Hans Schäufelein from 1517, depicts the biblical figure of St. John the Baptist preaching to a group of people. The image features intricate details in the clothing and facial expressions of the figures. Schäufelein's use of vivid colors and linear patterns creates a dynamic composition. This small-scale woodcut is a testament to the artist's mastery of the medium, which was popular in the 16th century for its affordability and wide accessibility.
