EDITORS COMMENTS
This half figure print, created by Hans Klocker around 1480-1490, showcases a Saint Bishop with a serene and pious expression. The intricately detailed apparel and architectural elements reflect the late Gothic style prevalent during the 15th century in Austria. The bishop wears a long, flowing robe adorned with elaborate patterns, a mitre on his head, and a robe draped over his shoulders. The complexion of the figure is rosy-cheeked, adding to his aura of piety and devotion. The background is a simple grey, allowing the focus to remain on the subject. The damage and wear on the print, evident in the creases and discoloration, add to its historic charm and authenticity. The close-up perspective invites the viewer to examine the intricacies of the clothing and the artist's skillful use of pencil charcoal on paper, heightened with white. The Saint Bishop's posture and the position of his hands, holding a rosary or a book, convey a sense of deep religious devotion. The image is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the Austrian Gallery Belvedere and the rich history of Christian art. This semi-figure sculpture is a reminder of the pious and reverent spirit of the late medieval period and the enduring influence of religious art on European culture.
