Graf, a goldsmith, painter, and printmaker active in Basel, is known for his energetic and often raw approach to graphic arts. This work reflects the stylistic conventions of early sixteenth-century Northern European printmaking, where bold, expressive lines define the figures and the narrative space.\n\nThe composition is compact, typical of small-scale devotional prints intended for personal use or inclusion in printed books. Christ stands to the left, holding a banner, while the disciples are gathered around a table. The figures are rendered with a sense of immediacy, their gestures and expressions conveying the suddenness of the encounter. The application of colour, likely added by hand after the initial printing, provides a rudimentary tonal quality that differentiates the figures from the background. The artist's monogram, a common feature in his prints, is visible in the lower portion of the image.\n\nGraf's work often displays a certain ruggedness, moving away from the polished refinement found in some of his contemporaries. His background as a metalworker informs the sharp, decisive quality of the woodcut lines. This print offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the Reformation era, where religious imagery remained a primary medium for communication and contemplation. The scene captures a moment of theological significance through a direct, unadorned aesthetic. The print is a representative example of the small-format woodcuts that circulated widely across Europe during this period, serving as accessible devotional aids for the laity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ecce-homo-albrecht-durer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eEcce Homo - Albrecht Dürer — Albrecht Dürer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/gerson-as-pilgrim-hans-wechtlin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eGerson as Pilgrim - Hans Wechtlin — Hans Wechtlin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Urs Graf","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58186007347535,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58186492051791,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58186492084559,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58186492117327,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58186492150095,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58186492182863,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58186492215631,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58186492248399,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58186492281167,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58186492313935,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58186492346703,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58186492379471,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Christ-Appears-to-His-Disciples_Poster_CompositorV1_1783648622945.jpg?v=1783664389","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/christ-appears-to-his-disciples-urs-graf","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
