1475
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Saint John the Baptist and Saint Christopher is a 1475 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two saints side by side. On the left, John the Baptist holds a cross. On the right, Christopher carries the Christ Child on his shoulder. Before ink dried, an artist brushed bright colors over the woodcut. Red lake, green, and pink make the saints stand out. Gray shadows give depth to robes and skin. Look for prints like this at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
