Standing Apostle is a 1400 ink by Italian 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting is titled Standing Apostle. It was made by an Italian artist in the 15th Century. The artist used pen, brown ink, and brown wash on prepared laid paper to create this work, which is a part of the Renaissance movement, although the exact date is earlier than expected, around 1400. You can learn more about similar art at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, which holds this piece, or by exploring the movement: Renaissance.
This anonymous Italian engraver from the 1490s carved images that could be peeled apart like paper dolls—each knot in the "First Knot" print was cut from a single sheet so you could lift the loops right off the page.
