EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases St. Simon, one of the Twelve Apostles, in a moment of deep contemplation. Standing before an open book, his left hand delicately presses onto the pages while his right hand supports his chin. The composition is enhanced by a shallow barrel vault with an oculus in the background, adding to the overall sense of serenity and spirituality. Created in 1545 by Lambert Suavius, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of St. Simon as a devout follower of Christ. The fine details and intricate lines showcase Suavius' skill as an artist from the Netherlandish region during the 16th century. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Simon's significance within Christian history and tradition. As one of Jesus' closest disciples, he played a vital role in spreading Christianity throughout the world. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece exemplifies Suavius' mastery in capturing religious subjects through engravings. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and spiritual devotion. Through its timeless beauty and monochromatic palette, this photograph invites us to reflect on our own faith journeys while paying homage to St. Simon's unwavering commitment to his beliefs.
