Albrecht Altdorfer Erasmus Fir Wood Martyrdom Unsigned Werkstatt Workshop

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece titled "Martyrdom of St. Erasmus" created by Albrecht Altdorfer, a renowned artist from Regensburg. Painted between 1518 and 1520, this oil on fir wood artwork measures approximately 37.5 x 31 cm. The scene depicted in this painting is one of intense emotion and religious significance. St. Erasmus, also known as St. Elmo or St. Elme, was a Christian martyr who suffered greatly for his faith during the reign of Emperor Diocletian in the early fourth century. In this particular moment captured by Altdorfer's skilled brushstrokes, we witness the brutal martyrdom of St. Erasmus himself. The saint is shown tied to a column while being subjected to various tortures inflicted upon him due to his refusal to renounce Christianity. Altdorfer's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; he masterfully portrays the anguish on St. Erasmus' face and captures the intensity of his suffering through vivid colors and dramatic lighting. Although unsigned, art historians attribute this work to Albrecht Altdorfer's workshop due to its stylistic similarities with other pieces from that period. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic genius behind this masterpiece but also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like St. Erasmus in defense of their beliefs throughout history.
