1485
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Saint Maurice is a 1485 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man in armor, holding a spear and a flag. He's wearing a big hat with a long ribbon flowing behind him. The background is a blue sky with some mountains. The man is standing in front of a tree, and there are some rocks on the ground. The painting is done in shades of green, yellow, blue, and light brown. It looks like it was made using a special technique called engraving, which involves carving a design into a metal plate.
