This image shows a single figure standing over a fallen person. The figure has a dark halo, a blue robe with red sleeves, and a staff in one hand. The background has a blue sky with clouds and a green hillside. The colors are flat and bright, with clear outlines. This is a woodcut, a printing method where the image is carved into wood and then colored by hand. Look up woodcut to see how this technique works.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
