Saint Augustine c. 1450 - 1460

This woodcut print, "Saint Augustine" was created by the Master with the Banderoles, an anonymous artist active in the late 14th and early 16th centuries. Dated to around 1450-1460, the image portrays Saint Augustine, a prominent figure in the early Church, seated and engaged in writing. The print's detail and composition are characteristic of the Northern Renaissance period, marked by a strong emphasis on realism and meticulous representation of detail. While the identity of the artist remains unknown, their mastery of line and shading gives a compelling depiction of the saint's contemplation.
