From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Saint Jost is a 1480 paint by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a holy figure with a golden halo holding a long staff. The figure wears a red robe with black dots and a patterned belt. Around them, green plants and white flowers fill the background. The figure’s face looks serious, and the colors are bright but flat. This style was common in early printed art. Look up Renaissance to see how this style changed art over time.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
