Saint John and Anthony in a Landscape

Not on view

Master I°+V was one of a handful of printmakers working in the 1540s at the palace of Fontainebleau, just outside of Paris. Typical of the master's technique, he combined designs by different artists to produce this extraordinary image. He copied the figures of the two saints from the Mantuan artist Giulio Romano. To create the landscape, he extracted multiple motifs from three prints by Albrecht Dürer. The two trees on the left and the stone bridge on the right were copied from Dürer's engraving of Saint Eustace (exhibited nearby).
