EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by the renowned Dutch artist Lucas van Leyden in the 1510s, depicts Saint Philip, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. The image, titled "Saint Philip" from the series "Christ, Paul and the Twelve Apostles," showcases the saint in a full-length, standing position. Saint Philip is shown barefoot, a common representation of saints in religious art during the Renaissance period. He is dressed in simple robes, his body lean and muscular, reflecting the physical ideals of the time. Lucas van Leyden, born in Leiden, Netherlands, was a prominent figure in the European art scene during the 16th century. His mastery of the engraving technique is evident in the intricate details and expressive lines of this print. The black and white contrast adds depth and texture to the image, emphasizing the strong, robust figure of Saint Philip. Saint Philip, who is often depicted with a cross or a fish, is traditionally believed to have been an fisherman before he met Jesus. After his conversion, he spread the word of Christianity throughout the Mediterranean region. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the saints in Christian history and the artistic achievements of the Low Countries during the Renaissance era. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to house this precious piece of heritage art in its collection, allowing future generations to appreciate the beauty and significance of Lucas van Leyden's work.
