Saint John the Baptist and Saint Onuphrius 1503 - 1504

This woodcut print, "Saint John the Baptist and Saint Onuphrius," was created by Albrecht Dürer in 1503–1504. It depicts two saints, John the Baptist and Onuphrius, in a landscape setting. Dürer’s meticulous detail and masterful use of line convey the figures' solemnity and the serene natural setting. The contrast between the clothed figure of John and the naked Onuphrius reflects the different ways these saints approached the world. Both figures are engaged in prayer and contemplation, demonstrating the importance of spiritual devotion. The woodcut is a testament to Dürer's skill and his ability to capture both physical and spiritual realities.
