This print showcases a remarkable engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi, titled "St Leonard standing holding a palm in his right hand and chains in his left". Created between 1500-1527, this masterpiece is part of the renowned series called Piccoli Santi (Small Saints). In this sixteenth-century artwork, St Leonard stands tall with an air of serenity. He holds a symbolic palm branch in his right hand, representing victory over sin and death. In his left hand, he firmly grasps chains that symbolize liberation from earthly bonds. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every line etched on the engraving brings life to St Leonard's noble countenance. Raimondi's Italian heritage shines through in this religious portrait as he skillfully captures the essence of Christian devotion. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this exquisite piece within its collection, preserving it for generations to come.
