"Die Büste des Heiligen Chrysostomus" (The Bust of Saint Chrysostom) is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, dated to around 1514. This work is part of Dürer's extensive and influential body of graphic art, which includes woodcuts, engravings, and etchings that reflect his keen interest in humanist ideals, religious themes, and classical motifs.

The engraving depicts Saint John Chrysostom, an Early Church Father and Archbishop of Constantinople, renowned for his eloquent preaching and his writings on Christian ethics and the interpretation of the Bible. Chrysostom's name, derived from the Greek "Chrysostomos," means "golden-mouthed," a testament to his reputation as an orator.

In "Die Büste des Heiligen Chrysostomus," Dürer presents the saint in a three-quarter profile, a common pose in portraiture that suggests depth and three-dimensionality. The engraving showcases Dürer's mastery of the medium, with finely detailed lines and textures that create a lifelike representation of the saint's facial features, hair, and vestments. The work reflects the artist's skill in blending Northern Renaissance attention to detail with the idealized forms inspired by the Italian Renaissance.

The engraving is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the dissemination of the images of saints and religious figures during the 16th century. Dürer's prints were widely circulated and collected, influencing both his contemporaries and subsequent generations of artists.

As with many of Dürer's engravings, "Die Büste des Heiligen Chrysostomus" is held in high regard by art historians and collectors. It is studied for its technical excellence, its representation of religious figures, and its role in the broader context of Renaissance art. The engraving can be found in various museum collections and is often included in scholarly discussions of Dürer's body of work and the development of engraving as an art form during the Renaissance.
