"St. Christopher" is a notable painting by the German artist Adam Elsheimer, who was active during the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. Created in 1600, this work is an oil on panel and is known for its meticulous detail and the innovative use of chiaroscuro, which would later influence many Baroque artists. The painting depicts the popular Christian legend of St. Christopher, the patron saint of travelers, who is shown carrying the Christ Child across a river.

Elsheimer's "St. Christopher" stands out for its dramatic lighting and the intimate portrayal of the figures within a nocturnal landscape, a subject rarely tackled with such finesse before the 17th century. The work is a testament to Elsheimer's skill in rendering narrative and atmospheric effects in a small format, as the painting measures only 27 cm × 20 cm.

The painting is also significant for its influence on other artists of the time, particularly in the way Elsheimer handles light to create a sense of depth and volume. His work had a profound impact on his contemporaries and the following generations, including Peter Paul Rubens and Rembrandt, who admired and drew inspiration from Elsheimer's innovative techniques.

Today, "St. Christopher" is considered one of Elsheimer's masterpieces and is held in a private collection. Its historical and artistic value continues to be recognized by scholars and enthusiasts of early Baroque art.
