Saint Dorothy is a 1450 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a saintly figure, Saint Dorothy, standing in a garden. She is dressed in a long, flowing robe and holds a basket of flowers in her left hand. Her right hand is extended, offering a flower to a small child who is reaching up to receive it. The saint's attire is rendered in tan and red lake hues, while the flowers and foliage are depicted in shades of yellow and green. The overall effect is one of serenity and devotion. The artist's use of woodcut techniques adds a sense of texture and depth to the image. For more information on this art movement, explore the Renaissance.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
