EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print depicts Saint Lupo, a revered figure in Christian history and the patron saint of the city of Augsburg in Germany. The image is taken from Plate 5 of the "Heiligenleben" or "Lives of the Saints," a collection of saints' lives compiled by Jacobus de Voragine in the 13th century. The print was created in the 15th century by the master woodcutter Anton Sorg and published by Wilhelm Ludwig Schreiber. The image showcases Saint Lupo, a bishop and hermit, in a contemplative pose, surrounded by various scenes from his life. He is shown wearing the traditional bishop's mitre and holding a pastoral staff, symbolizing his spiritual leadership. The intricate detail and careful shading in the woodcut demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The print is a precious artifact from the 15th century, showcasing the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Europe during the late Middle Ages. The use of laid paper and letterpress techniques adds to the antique charm of the piece. The black and white woodcut, with its intricate lines and carefully hand-tinted details, invites the viewer to delve deeper into the story of this venerated saint. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the religious beliefs, artistic styles, and historical context of the time. It is a cherished addition to any art collection or research library, providing a tangible link to the European artistic and literary traditions of the past.
