H. Paulus, apostel der heidenen 1614

This 1614 engraving by Dietrich Krüger depicts Saint Paul, the apostle of the Gentiles, standing between two columns. The work is a fine example of 17th-century printmaking, featuring detailed engravings and a clear and well-defined figure of Saint Paul. The artist has depicted him holding a sword in one hand and a book in the other, highlighting his role as a preacher and teacher. The inscription below the image reads "Credere oportet accidenti adiuvam quia est in iustitia se remuneraror sit," a Latin phrase meaning “We must believe that God helps those who are in need.” The work is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
