1528
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
St. Christopher Crossing the Stream is a 1528 by Albrecht Dürer, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a man carrying a child on his shoulders, crossing a stream. The man is wearing a long robe and has a staff in his right hand. The child is looking down at the man and has his hands raised in the air. In the background, there are buildings and trees visible. The man's facial expression is one of determination, and the child's expression is one of curiosity. The use of light and shadow in the painting creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Renaissance artists, who often depicted religious and mythological scenes.
