St. Judas Thaddaeus from Christ and the Apostles 1519

This woodcut, "St. Judas Thaddaeus from Christ and the Apostles" by Hans Baldung, depicts the apostle St. Thaddaeus, known for his missionary work. Dated 1519, the artwork is a powerful example of Baldung's mastery of detail and his signature use of expressive lines. The saint is depicted with a book, symbolizing his teachings, and a club, a symbol of his martyrdom. A small animal is nestled at the base of the image, possibly a rabbit or a dog, representing the saint's connection to nature and his humble nature. The print is part of a larger series that showcases the twelve apostles, all depicted in a similar, detailed style.
