St. James the Great

Hendrick Goltzius

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white engraving depicting a scene with a bearded man in a long robe holding a staff and a plate with a head on it, standing on the right side. He wears a long-sleeved robe and has curly hair and a long beard. His right hand holds a staff with a bulbous end, while his left hand holds the plate. To the left, a chaotic scene unfolds with people running and fighting. Some are shirtless or wearing loincloths and carry swords and shields. A man in the center lies on the ground, while another man stands over him, clutching his chest. In the background, a cityscape features buildings, including one with a large dome. The sky above is cloudy. The engraving is set against a beige background with a rough texture. Two lines of text are written in Latin at the bottom.
