1400s Netherlandish School 1475 Multi Coloured Multicoloured Netherlandish Santo
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 15th century print depicts Saint Poppo, a revered figure in European Christianity. The exact creator of this artwork remains unknown, but it is believed to originate from the Netherlandish artistic school, a prominent movement during the late medieval period. The print is dated around 1475 and is a testament to the artistic skill and intricacy of the time. Saint Poppo is depicted in this image as a bearded man, dressed in monastic robes, with a book in one hand and a staff in the other. He is surrounded by a scene of adoration, with various men and women in prayerful poses, some kneeling at his feet while others look on in awe. The print is multi-colored, with figures hand-painted in green, red, and yellow hues against a black and white background. The image is printed on vellum, a material made from animal skin, and has been carefully retouched to enhance its visual appeal. The use of woodcut techniques and hand coloring adds to the artwork's textured and intricate nature. The print is a valuable addition to any art collection, providing a glimpse into the religious art of the fifteenth century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is home to this remarkable piece, which is a testament to the enduring legacy of European artistic heritage. The image of Saint Poppo serves as a reminder of the deep spiritual beliefs and artistic traditions that shaped European culture during the late medieval period.
