EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Saint James the Greater" by Hendrik Goltzius, dates back to the 1580s and is part of the series "Christ, Twelve Apostles and Paul," plate 3 of 14. The image showcases Saint James the Greater, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, dressed in the attire of the 16th century. The saint is depicted with a distinctive beard, wearing a pointed hat adorned with a cross and a shell, which is a symbol of his pilgrimage to Compostela in Spain. The background of the print features an aquatic scene with various marine life, reflecting the legend that Saint James appeared to a fisherman in the form of a large, shining star, leading him to discover the site of the saint's tomb. The black and white, or bw, print displays an intricate level of detail, showcasing the mastery of Goltzius, a renowned Dutch engraver of the Renaissance period. The image of Saint James the Greater exemplifies the rich heritage of European art and the enduring influence of Christianity on fashion and visual culture.
