Saint Christopher

About this work

This print shows a giant man carrying a small child on his shoulder. The man’s body is huge, with big feet stepping through a shallow river. The child holds a cross, and the sky above glows with a sun and moon. In the background, a tiny figure watches from a hill, while a castle sits in the distance. The artist used sharp lines to show the giant’s muscles and the water’s ripples. The print looks like it was carved into wood—every detail is crisp and dark. Next, look up woodcut to see how this method works.
