DÜRER, Albrecht: St Simon

🖼 St Simon, 1523
Engraving
118 × 75 cm

Precise linework renders Saint Simon holding a saw, his attribute of martyrdom, against a dark background with geometric precision. Dürer's woodcut exemplifies Northern Renaissance mastery of the medium, influencing printmaking across Europe through its technical virtuosity and spiritual intensity.
