Saint Paul Speaks to the Women of Philippi by a River is a 1574 ink by Philip Galle, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a scene of Saint Paul speaking to a group of women by a river. The women are seated on the ground, listening intently to Paul, who is standing and gesturing with his hands. In the background, there are buildings and trees, and a bridge spans the river. The artist has used a range of techniques to create depth and texture in the painting, including cross-hatching and engraving. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, with the women's faces filled with a sense of wonder and awe. The painting is a beautiful example of Renaissance art, and it can be found at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
Philip (or Philips) Galle (1537 – March 1612) was a Dutch publisher, best known for publishing old master prints, which he also produced as designer and engraver. He is especially known for his reproductive engravings of paintings.
