1480
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Unknown Saint is a 1480 by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a saint, but the identity is unknown. The figure is dressed in a long robe and appears to be holding a staff. The background of the painting is a warm, golden color. The saint's face is serene, with a gentle expression. The artist has used a technique called paste print to create the image, which gives it a unique texture. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about the Renaissance movement, which this painting is a part of, you might want to explore the work of other artists from this time period.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
