Apostelen Simon 1609 - 1670

"Apostelen Simon" is a 17th-century charcoal drawing by the Dutch artist Karel van Mander III, created between 1609 and 1670. The drawing depicts Simon Peter, one of Jesus' apostles, with a dramatic, expressive pose and a detailed rendering of his features. The artist's skillful use of shading and light creates a sense of depth and realism, highlighting Simon Peter's aged and weathered appearance. This drawing, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, offers insight into Van Mander's artistic style and his interpretation of biblical figures.
