Saint Odilia

Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person kneeling in a prayer position, with their hands clasped together. The person has a calm facial expression, long hair covered by a large halo, and is wearing long robes. In front of them is a table with a lit candle and a crucifix. To the right, a hooded figure appears to be flying or falling, and below, a bearded man seems to be engulfed in flames. The background shows a brick wall, a window with a diamond lattice pattern, and decorative cloud-like formations.
