DÜRER, Albrecht: St Sebald in the Niche

🖼 St Sebald in the Niche, 1518-20
Woodcut
Vienna, Austria

Intricate linework renders a saint within a Gothic architectural frame, his body pierced by arrows. Dürer's engraving demonstrates Northern Renaissance mastery of perspective and devotional imagery, establishing the German print tradition's technical excellence.
