Description

The fifth and last of Dürer’s engraved apostles bears the date 1526 (altered from 1523). At that time Dürer was preparing a large two–panel painting called The Four Apostles for the Town Hall of the city of Nuremberg. The painting, inscribed with lengthy excerpts from Luther’s German translation of the Bible, includes a monumental figure of St. Paul, whose flowing robes were borrowed by the artist directly from his own St. Philip engraving.
