EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print depicts Saint Simon, one of the twelve apostles of Christ, turning his back to the viewer and looking over his shoulder as he holds a saw. The image is set within an elegant oval frame, adding to the antique charm and intrigue. Saint Simon, known for his bearded face and long hair, is often depicted in art as the patron saint of butchers and tanners due to the legend that he was a fisherman who, after being called by Christ to become an apostle, later became a craftsman. This anonymous work, titled 'Saint Simon' or 'Guido Reni's Saint Simon,' is believed to be from the series 'Christ, the Virgin, and Thirteen Apostles.' The print's intricate details and the subtle play of light and shadow evoke a sense of reverence and awe, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery exhibit focusing on Christian art and the New Testament.
