H. Paulus 1623

This engraving by Lucas Kilian from 1623 depicts Saint Paul, an important figure in early Christianity. Created using the technique of etching, the piece showcases the artist's mastery of detail. Kilian, a German artist born in 1579 and active until his death in 1637, effectively captures the saint's character through his pose, with a sword and book representing his strength and knowledge, respectively. This piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and measures 302 mm in height and 154 mm in width.
