1589
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Saint Paul is a 1589 ink by Hendrik Goltzius, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man with a long white beard and hair, wearing a robe. He holds a sword in his right hand and gestures with his left. The background features a rocky landscape with trees and a cloudy sky. A notable detail is the intricate engraving technique used to create the image, which adds texture and depth to the scene. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of volume and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure. This engraving is a fine example of Renaissance art, and if you're interested in learning more about this period, you might want to explore the movement further.
