St Apollonia

1521 Chalk drawing on green primed paper, 414 x 288 mm Staatliche Museen, Berlin The chalk drawing was an individual study for a planned monumental Madonna with saints, of which six preliminary drawings exist. The figure of St Apollonia appears on two of these studies. The drawing depicts a moment of spiritualization: St Apollonia is portrayed as a young woman who appears to be imbued with inner concentration. She is portrayed in so individual a style that it is still disputed whether D?rer used a model or created an ideal figure from his imagination.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: St Apollonia Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study
