EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of German art from the 15th century. Titled "Saint Apollonia" this woodcut masterpiece was created around 1450 and has been meticulously hand-colored in vibrant shades of red lake, green, yellow, and brown. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as Saint Apollonia's serene expression and delicate features are brought to life. The woodcut technique used in this artwork adds a unique texture and depth to the image. Each line and curve has been carefully carved into the wooden block before being inked and pressed onto paper. This meticulous process results in intricate details that beautifully capture the essence of Saint Apollonia. As we delve into the history behind this artwork, it becomes apparent that Saint Apollonia holds great significance within religious iconography. Known as the patron saint of dentistry, she is often depicted with a pair of pincers or holding a tooth – symbols representing her martyrdom during Roman times when her teeth were brutally extracted. Through this stunning woodcut print, we are transported back to an era where craftsmanship thrived and devotion was expressed through art. The combination of rich colors and masterful execution make this piece truly mesmerizing for both art enthusiasts and historians alike
