This print showcases the exquisite painting titled "Saint John the Baptist and Saint Gertrude of Nivelles" created in 1480 by the talented artist, Master of St. Gudule. The artwork, originating from a private collection, is an exceptional example of early Netherlandish art. The composition depicts two significant figures in Christianity: Saint John the Baptist and Saint Gertrude of Nivelles. With meticulous brushstrokes and vibrant colors, the artist brings to life their devoutness and spiritual aura. Both saints are portrayed with utmost loyalty to their faith, emphasizing their unwavering commitment to Jesus Christ.

Her presence adds depth to this masterpiece while highlighting her role as an influential figure within Christianity. The use of oil on wood enhances each intricate detail captured by the skilled hand of Master St. Gudule. This fine art image serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and profound devotion found during this period.
