This woodcut print, titled "Saint Christopher and Saint John the Baptist," is a 15th-century work by German artist Jörg Glockendon. The print depicts two Christian saints, St. Christopher, carrying a small figure of Christ, and St. John the Baptist holding a lamb. The image is richly colored and displays Glockendon's mastery in detail. The figures are rendered in a simple, yet expressive style, typical of the artistic style of the time, with a focus on devotional imagery. This small print is a beautiful and moving testament to the artist's skill and the enduring power of faith.
