EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "St. James the Less, from Christ, the Apostles and St. Paul with the Creed" a remarkable engraving by Hendrik Goltzius dating back to approximately 1589. The image transports us to the 16th century, immersing us in a world of artistry and spirituality. In this piece, we see a distinguished man engrossed in reading a book within the depths of a cave. This man is none other than St. James the Less, one of Jesus' apostles who played an integral role in spreading Christianity. His intense focus on the text reflects his dedication to studying and understanding religious teachings. Goltzius's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every line etched onto this engraving. The artist skillfully captures not only St. James' physical appearance but also his inner contemplation as he delves into sacred literature. The monochromatic palette adds depth and intensity to this composition, emphasizing both light and shadow within the cave's confines. It creates an atmosphere that invites viewers to ponder upon their own spiritual journey while admiring Goltzius's mastery. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this Netherlandish masterpiece serves as a testament to Goltzius's artistic prowess and enduring legacy. Through his work, he immortalizes St. James' devotion while reminding us of our shared heritage rooted in faith and literature. This print offers a glimpse into history—a moment frozen
