DÜRER, Albrecht: St Philip

🖼 St Philip, 1526
Engraving
122 × 76 cm

Penetrating gaze and austere features render this bearded saint in oil, captured with Renaissance precision and psychological depth. Dürer's 1526 panel demonstrates Northern European mastery of portraiture, elevating a religious figure through unflinching realism and spiritual intensity.
