Text Appearing Before Image:
ST. CHRISTOPHER 439
Text Appearing After Image:
St. Christopher (Albert Diirer) Towers, the figure is that of a Hercules, but the expression inthe head of the child extremely fine. When St. Christopher is introduced standing near the Ma-donna, or grouped with other saints, the water is omitted, buthe is never without his palm-staff. Where the artist has 440 THE PATRON SAINTS OF CHRISTENDOM varied the action or accessories, the figure ceases to be strictlydevotional, and becomes fanciful and dramatic. This, how-ever, is so seldom the case, that I know of very few examples.1. The earliest woodcut which exists, and of which it ispossible to fix the date, is a rude figure of St. Christopher, ofGerman design and execution, represented in the usual manner,except that there is a watermill and a miller in the foregroundIt is inscribed — Cristofori faciem die quacunque tuerislUa nempe die morte mala non morieris.
