EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by the renowned German artist Wolf Huber around 1480/1490, depicts the Apostle Simon. Simon, also known as Saint Jude Thaddeus, is one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. In this striking image, Simon is shown as an elderly man with a distinctive beard and a fur-lined robe. He is depicted holding a club, which is a symbol of his apostleship and a reminder of his miraculous healing of a man's paralyzed hand. The print is a testament to Huber's masterful use of black and white contrasts, creating a sense of depth and texture. The intricate details of the Apostle's face and clothing are expertly rendered, adding to the overall impact of the artwork. The print bears Huber's monogram, indicating his authorship and adding to its historical significance. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focused on religious or historical themes. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the fifteenth century and the enduring influence of Christian art on Western culture. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is one of many prestigious institutions that have recognized the importance of this work and have included it in their collections. The print is also a fascinating companion piece to other works by Huber and his contemporaries, such as those by Martin Schongauer. Together, they offer a glimpse into the artistic and religious milieu of the late medieval period and the ways in which artists like Huber used their craft to explore the complexities of faith and the human experience.
