EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Sts. Peter and Paul With the Vernicle, 1517" captures a remarkable piece of art created by Lucas van Leyden in the 16th century. In this engraving, we witness the embodiment of two iconic figures from Christianity - Sts. Peter and Paul. Both apostles are depicted with solemn expressions on their faces, showcasing their devotion to spreading the teachings of Christ Jesus. St. Peter, also known as Simon Peter or Simon Cephas, holds a relic known as the Vernicle, symbolizing his role as one of the pillars of Christianity. Their bodies are intricately detailed, highlighting every contour and fold in their garments. The artist's skillful use of shading creates a sense of depth and realism within this religious scene. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of its Dutch heritage and its significance within Netherlandish art during the Renaissance period. Lucas van Leyden's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every stroke engraved on this print displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This image serves as a testament to both faith and artistic excellence that has stood the test of time for centuries. It allows us to reflect on these revered saints' contributions to Christian history while appreciating Lucas van Leyden's talent as an artist.
