From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Saint Jude Thaddeus is a 1589 ink by Hendrik Goltzius, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a man with long, curly hair and a beard, wearing a robe. He is holding a book in his left hand and has his right hand raised, with his palm facing outward. The background is dark, with some foliage visible behind the man's head. The man's facial expression is one of contemplation, and his eyes are cast downward. The engraving technique used to create this image is evident in the detailed lines and textures that make up the man's clothing and hair.
