Saint Paul 1514

Albrecht Dürer's "Saint Paul" (1514) is a masterful engraving that showcases the artist's meticulous detail and masterful use of line. The image depicts Saint Paul, a prominent figure in early Christianity, holding an open book and radiating light. The engraving's composition, with Saint Paul standing in a landscape, exemplifies Dürer's talent for depicting both the divine and the earthly realms in a single work. This small-scale engraving highlights Dürer's remarkable skill in capturing a sense of depth and realism in a simple yet profound image.
