From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Gerson as Pilgrim is a 1489 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a simple image of a man dressed as a pilgrim. He's wearing a hat and carrying a staff. This woodcut is interesting because it was made during a time when woodcuts were a new way to make art, and artists were still figuring out how to use the technique to create detailed images. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the woodcut technique.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
