{"product_id":"saint-peter-sebald-beham","title":"Saint Peter - Sebald Beham","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed 1545 engraving of Saint Peter by the German Renaissance master Sebald Beham, featuring precise line work and traditional iconography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Sebald Beham, dated 1545, depicts Saint Peter, one of the primary apostles. Beham, a member of the group known as the Little Masters, was a prolific printmaker based in Nuremberg. His work is characterised by a high degree of technical precision, often executed on a small scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this composition, Saint Peter is shown in a standing pose, holding the traditional attribute of the keys to the kingdom of heaven. The figure is draped in heavy, voluminous robes, with the folds rendered through fine, parallel hatching lines that create a sense of weight and volume. The artist employs a clear, linear style, typical of the German Renaissance tradition. A faint halo surrounds the saint's head, and the inscription 'S. SIMON PETRVS' is visible along the left edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the right, a stone block bears the artist's monogram 'SB' and the date '1545'. The ground is sparsely detailed with small tufts of vegetation and stones, keeping the focus entirely on the figure. Beham's ability to convey form and texture through the medium of engraving is evident in the subtle shading of the drapery and the expressive features of the saint's face. This print reflects the period's interest in classical humanism combined with traditional Christian subjects. The work is a fine example of the technical mastery achieved by the Little Masters, who produced small, highly detailed prints for collectors and scholars of the sixteenth century. The composition is balanced and restrained, adhering to the conventions of religious art while demonstrating the artist's individual approach to line and form.\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\/saint-philip-lucas-van-leyden\" 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;\"\u003eSaint Philip - Lucas van Leyden — Lucas van Leyden\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/virgin-and-child-with-a-monkey-hieronymus-wierix\" 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;\"\u003eVirgin and Child with a Monkey - Hieronymus Wierix — Hieronymus Wierix\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hans Sebald Beham","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58485300822351,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58485307638095,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58485307670863,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58485307703631,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58485307736399,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58485307769167,"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":58485307801935,"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":58485307834703,"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":58485307867471,"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":58485307900239,"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":58485307933007,"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":58485307965775,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Saint-Peter_Poster_CompositorV1_1786359730530.jpg?v=1786837831","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/saint-peter-sebald-beham","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
