De dood van de heilige Philippus 1591

"De dood van de heilige Philippus" (The Death of Saint Philip) is an etching by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, created in 1591. The detailed image depicts a scene of Saint Philip's death, surrounded by a group of monks and a figure kneeling at his bedside. The composition features an intricate rendering of the interior space, with architectural elements and details of clothing adding to the realism. Tempesta's etching showcases his skill in depicting both the solemnity of the event and the human emotion captured in the figures' expressions. This small but powerful work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into 16th-century religious art and the life of Saint Philip.
