From LinkedCulture
This woodcut captures Saint Christopher mid-stride, wading through churning water with the Christ child balanced on his broad shoulders and a cloak billowing behind him. Albrecht Dürer made this print in Germany in 1511, and the dense hatching across the saint's muscular frame gives the figure an almost sculptural weight, remarkable for ink on paper. In the far background, a tiny hermit holds a lantern on the opposite bank, a quiet contrast to the overwhelming scale of the foreground. It stands as proof of how far the woodcut medium could be pushed by a master's hand.
