#st. eustace

[beautiful-belgium]

Unknown Flemish master after Albrecht Dürer - Saint Eustace in a Landscape (c. 1505 - 1525)

Albrecht Dürer - Saint Eustace (c. 1501)

“Dürer's largest engraving depicts the moment of conversion of a Roman general named Placidus. While hunting, Placidus saw a crucifix miraculously appearing between a stag's antlers. The stag spoke in Christ's voice, and Placidus fell from his horse and became a Christian baptized with the name Eustace. The print has long been admired as an exemplar of Dürer's extraordinary virtuosity; the animals and features of the landscape served as models for artists for the following century.” - The Met

Saint Eustace - Anselm Kiefer

N.B. (from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's description):

In this drawing Kiefer refers to the legend of Saint Eustace, a second-century A.D. Christian martyr who is the subject of a famously large and meticulously detailed engraving by Albrecht Dürer (Saint Eustace, ca. 1500-1501, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Fletcher Fund, 1919 (19.73.65)). According to his legend, Eustace was a noble officer in the army of the Roman emperor Trajan, who, while hunting one day, encountered a stag. This magnificent animal bore a crucifix between his antlers and addressed the soldier in the name of Christ, converting Eustace to Christianity. Basing his image of the stag on photographs he took of a reindeer he saw during a trip to Norway in 1974, Kiefer replaces the crucifix with a radiant painter's palette.
